Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
This is more of a build question than a class question. If you lose most of your class features when a first level spell is cast on you your build is probably bad.

Not if they have a method of magical flight that is like that of superman (read: the fly spell).

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
In 4th edition Paladins can't fall. I'm not clear if a Paladin jumping off a cliff would simply be immune to falling damage or if they would suddenly gain the ability to wind walk.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
Short answer: Maybe. Gravity in D&D isn't what you or I think of as "gravity." While they bear a passing similarity, gravity in D&D is open to interpretation and has various shades of gray, as can be seen with planar traits like Subjective Gravity or the Reverse Gravity spell, while in real life gravity is literally a cosmic force and fundamental building block of the universe.
Remember folks, gravity is different from [Gravity].

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
Speaking of gravity:
Given a paladin at 2000 feet up has the fly spell dispelled off of him, what rate does he fall in feet per round?
I've always wondered what the drop speed is.There is no emotion more useless in life than hate.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
60 ft/rd for 1d6 rounds, then 2000 ft - the amount already fallen instantly.
"Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of fall. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also descends in this way if the fly spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field. "

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
Note however that Wind Walk doesn't provide the same protection as Fly for being dispelled. A Paladin that has Wind Walk and is dispelled would immediately begin to fall. This occurs at approximately 150 ft. in the first round and 300 ft. in the second round as detailed in Dungeon Masters Guide, page 20.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
Non of these make a Paladin fall, these are all effects of the Atonement Spell, as the Paladin is humbled.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
let's see guy in heavy armor with a low base reflex and if he didn't use dex as a dump stat it probablly wasn't his first priority so I would say the paladin is on his back

But he has Divine Grace to back him up. Moving would be an issue though.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
If you polymorph him into an ooze, he can't fall. And on the plus side, he can devour screaming children. Sidenote: FLYING OOZES!

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
A Paladin usually falls at 0HP. Every Paladin who reaches -10HP or below, becomes an Ex Paladin. There are ancient battlefields filled with fallen Paladins.
I don't think the cosmic forces of Good appreciate the limitations of being mortal.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
If a Paladin falls because of religious beliefs, because of reflex checks and because of heavy armor and imposed penalty on Balance, doesn't that make Paladins unbalanced? So in retrospect rogues ARE the most balanced class in the game!

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
This means dwarves are the most balanced race, thanks to racial stability bonuses.

Re: Would this make a Paladin fall?
We can't say what happens to the Paladin in the OP, but I know that every Paladin's least favorite season is Autumn.
