Is there any Lawful Neutral Paladin Class that exists in D&D 3.5 game? :smile:

Paladin-ish classes from 1st party books would be Crusader and Divine Mind. Sohei is from 3rd ed. Oriental Adventures but was never updated so maybe relevant too.

Incarnate comes to mind as the Lawful Neutral personification of Law.

You could be a pious templar of a lawful neutral deity. You even get paladin spells and smite.

As someone said, the Dragon Magazine one. Although, I really wonder why these classes are even referred to as paladins, since a paladin really is about the code of conduct.

And all the Dragon Magazine variant ones have codes of conduct (even the Chaotic Neutral one) - they're just different ones.

The Knight ?

Jokes aside, it rides, it defends, it smites, it has to be lawful.
It does lack magic, but it seems to fit the themes of a LN paladin somewhat fine.

How close do you want to get? I once had a cleric/incarnate/sapphire Hierarch that came close. I took the unearthed arcana variant that let you give up turn undead for smite evil and the dm let me make it smite chaos instead. Alternatively you can get the law devotion feat and power it with undead turnings.

Best base class fits are Crusader and Knight for the playstyle part, and LN Incarnate for the "I am the LAW" aspect.

PrCs allow you to better represent a LN Paladin.
The iconic WotC LN Paladin PrC is Gray Guard, but the already mentioned Pious Templar is much better.
Another good example is Ruby Knight Vindicator, which can be entered as a LN Crusader/Cleric.
These are just the first ones that come to mind, but there are several, really.
