Editing Paladin (section)

===AD&D 1st Edition===
[[Alignment|Lawful Good]].  If you fuck up at being Lawful Good, you're busted down to Fighter at the same level, and your church shuns you. The controversial [[Unearthed Arcana]] book adds the chance to play Paladin-[[Cavalier]]s, who are incredibly ridiculous in power level (can stay conscious and retreat at negative hit points, can boost Str, Con, Dex, and Cha a little bit each level up, immunity to fear, etc).

For whatever reason, only humans could become Paladins in this edition.
