Paladin

Job Overview
Available after completing the quest A Knight's Test. Paladins specialize in close-range combat, just like warriors. However, through long hours of spiritual training, paladins have acquired the ability to cast white magic spells, making them even more valuable on the battlefield.

Strengths

 * High VIT, defense bonus traits, and the ability to wear heavy armor make Paladin the toughest job class in the game.
 * The ability to use White Magic allows the Paladin to cure himself or other party members to replenish HP and generate enmity at the same time.
 * Paladins generate the highest amount of Emnity for party situations in the game. Allowing other jobs to produce more damage with less risk.
 * Cover allows a Paladin to take damage for another job when they are attacked, lessening the risk of death for a weaker defensively job.

Weaknesses

 * Paladin is a purely defensive job class, and is not able to do much damage in combat.
 * Even though the Paladin has the ability to cast White Magic, his/her MP pool is usually quite limited and does not have the resources of a White Mage.
 * Because of the Paladin's MP pool, resting is a very common routine in a Paladin's everyday life.
 * Spells choice compared to White Mage is very limited, also most spells come at a much later time.
