The Paladin: Difference between revisions

* The Brotherhood of Steel in ''[[Fallout (Video Game)|Fallout]]'' has a rank called Paladin. Depending upon whether you're talking about the [[Fallout|West]] [[Fallout 2|Coast]] [[Fallout New Vegas|Brotherhood]], the [[Fallout Tactics|Midwestern Brotherhood]] or the [[Fallout 3|Eastern Brotherhood]], a paladin may or may not act out this trope.

* [[Mickey Mouse]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' has every aspect of this trope but the title.

* The Paladins in ''[[Quest for Glory]]'' differ from the standard version trope in that they are openly [[Neutral Good]] from the start; the Paladin mentor Rakeesh defied the rule of law in his homeland because he thought it was narrow-minded and would only cause a needless war. The Paladin class is unlocked at the end of ''[[Quest for Glory II]]'' if you finish the game with high enough [[Karma Meter|Honor]], and is effectively a Fighter with nice bonuses like [[Healing Hands]], protection from evil, and [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling|a danger sense]], plus some optional quests that go above and beyond the main plot.

* Artix Von Krieger from ''[[Adventure Quest (Video Game)|Adventure Quest]]'', ''[[Dragon Fable (Video Game)|Dragon Fable]]'' and other games of the same company subverts the concept. He has a ''compulsive'' need to smite any undead creatures he comes across, and ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds (Video Game)|Adventure Quest Worlds]]'' reveals that {{spoiler|Artix is the Champion of Darkness, and as such cannot use the light-based magic of a Paladin. Instead, he was trained in the ways of the Undead Slayer, whose power and purpose is to free the souls of those enslaved by undeath}}.
