The Paladin has strong Strength, Speed and Wisdom. To open this class, a character must have mastered a number of skills from both the Priest and Fighter skill sets. In Dragon Quest VII, the paladin has a low chance of killing the enemy instantly, regardless of remaining HP. This chance rises when the higher rank the paladin is.

Usefulness
The Paladin's innate ability to instantly kill one enemy is unreliable. It comes very randomly and doesn't work on bosses. As for the skills, Farewell isn't a useful skill except as a last resort. Guardian and Scapegoat are sometimes useful except when it comes to attacks that hit the entire party. For example, if a party member uses Guardian and a monster cast Explodet, the party member that used Guardian will be hit four times by the spell, most likely killing them on the spot. Vacuum is a very useful skill as, like Wind Beast, it grows stronger with higher levels. Multicut is also useful but due to the fact that it only hits one group and it cost 20 MP to cast, you are better off using Vacuum.
In regards to evolution, the Paladin can combine the mastered Dragoon class to become a Godhand and have access to some of the best skills in the game.
Dragon Quest IX
The Paladin vocation is late in the game after completing Quest 114. Paladins have the unique skillset "Virtue", and can also use skill points to learn Hammer, Spear, Wand, and Shield skills. Their Coup-de-Grace is "Knight's Watch," which prevents all damage and enrages all enemies.
