Paladins may use their skills to increase their prowess with sword and shield, as well as lend blessing "Auras" to themselves and to any who join them. They are particularly effective against the Undead, as they know many holy incantations effective against these creatures. | Paladins may use their skills to increase their prowess with sword and shield, as well as lend blessing "Auras" to themselves and to any who join them.

==Takes on the Paladin== | |||
There are many different Paladin builds, such as: Hammerdin, Auradin, Vengadin/Avenger, Zealot (or Zealadin), Zealot Vengadin, Smiter, Dragon Paladin (or Dragadin). | |||
Many of the build names are based on the type of attack they use: | |||
'''Auradin''' | |||
:Combines different types of runewords: normally, a Dream helmet, Dream shield, Dragon armor, Hand of Justice or Grief sword, and other things. It uses mostly runewords that add extra auras. | |||
'''Dragon Paladin''' | |||
:Uses [[Holy Fire]]. Most of their damage comes from their equipment. They normally use a Hand of Justice weapon, Dragon armor, and Dragon shield—all which give a high level [[Holy Fire]]. | |||
'''Hammerdin''' | |||
:Combines [[Blessed Hammer]] and other synergies to increase the damage and often reach over 13 000 damage. | |||
'''Vengadin''' | |||
:Uses [[Vengeance]] combined with its other synergies. They also use [[Conviction]] to easily beat monsters with immunities. | |||
'''Smiter''' | |||
:Uses [[Smite]] along with its synergies. Good Smiters often use expensive gear such as an exile shield. | |||
'''Zealot''' | |||
:Uses [[Zeal]] to do many hits before the monster can even think about it. The Paladin also complements the Zeal ability with [[Fanaticism]] for very quick and effective blows. Zeal can also be combined with elemental auras for fire, frost or lighting damage. | |||
'''Zealot Vengadin''' | |||
:Uses both [[Zeal]] and [[Vengeance]] quick blows and elemental damage including the skills that stack on them. | |||
