The Paladin
The Paladin is a righteous defensive fighter with divine powers.
Overview
The Paladin, the holy warrior, the epitome of the Knight in shining armor, and the bane of the evil Undead, is a powerful protective fighter, empowered by the Gods to cleanse the earth of the Undead.
With their divine gifted power, the Paladin is able to perform the role of a tank while supplementing this ability with an assortment of spells to heal themselves, rescue their group members, and casts buffs upon the groups. Along with this, the Paladin boats an assortment of melee attacks that can damage their foes--and greatly damage the Undead. While the various protective fighters in Vanguard are all fairly equal at tanking, the Paladin is unquestionably the best when it comes to the Undead as they have numerous abilities targeted directly at their greatest foes. While not a healing class, the Paladin does have a few healing spells that they can use on their group mates (using them on themselves reduce their Virtue Points) and they are the only class that can bring allies back from the dead during combat (although only at high levels). Paladins also boast a number of Auras (similar to stances) that can be used to buff themselves or debuff their enemies.
The Paladin is a powerful protective fighter with a wide array of abilities that can help a group--and smite the cursed Undead.
