I think, perhaps, that this thread has become just another pit of zeitgeist.

I'm sorry, but I cannot go on like this.
You want to know what a paladin is?
Here's a hint: It's not just another magical knight class in an rpg game,
and it's not an attempt at power, or a "prestige class", of all things!

Have we forgotten the value of morality?
of ethics, and just how far they can take you?
I mean, look at the stories on google images, for pity's sake.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,
and I apologize for the seemingly random nature of this post.
Have a nice day today!
And if it isn't one, see what you can do to change that!
The point behind the suggestion of the paladin becoming a prestige class - or some other class-agnostic thing that hopefully isn't as hilariously non-functional as prestige classes are - is to fix its being watered down into a "magical knight" class.
