Why Paladins Are The Biggest Difference Between D&D & Pathfinder
Paladins are the quintessential knights in shining armor in both and. They are typically seen wearing heavy armor and wielding a sword and shield, but they are ideal on the frontlines. However, since 2009, Paizo has been nudging Paladins to be more than just shining defenders.
