| A paladin is a holy knight ordained by the priests of his church to fulfill the martial obligations of the church and the church's deity (or deities for a pantheon). Paladins are considered special [[ecclesiastic ranks]] that are outside the normal bounds of the church, bound by church laws to enforce local laws as well as church cannon. Paladins require apprenticing to other paladins for the most part, although upstart paladins have been called to their gods without formal training. Some priests have even initiated paladins upon their paths, as well. As a paladin advances in their abilities, their patron god or goddess grants them their holbraces, or symbols of the paladin hood. As the patron deity grants holbraces, paladins exist outside of the normal structure of the churches, able to enforce laws for and against the clergy, and yet still bound to the church. | A paladin is a holy knight ordained by the priests of his church to fulfill the martial obligations of the church and the church's deity (or deities for a pantheon).

| - | Many a holy knight fails ever to earn a [[holbrace]], despite a lifetime of service to his or her deity, and a lowly warrior with no formal training and a lifetime spent hunting the woods may earn a holbrace if his heart is true to the ideals that the deity espouses. Holbraces are tattoos of the forearm that can be seen over clothing or even bracers, and can only be hidden by force of will by the paladin. | + | Many a holy knight fails ever to earn a [[holbrace]], despite a lifetime of service to his or her deity, and a lowly warrior with no formal training and a lifetime spent hunting the woods may earn a holbrace if his heart is true to the ideals that the deity espouses.
