Beginning with beta 32, [[human]] and [[elf|elven]] Sun Paladins begin in the [[Gates of Morning]]. Their starting zone is the [[Slazish Fens]], accessible through a stairway inside the town.

This class plays like a [[Bulwark]] (one-handed weapon and shield, with some of the same talents), but lacks Shield Wall. This is compensated by [[Retribution (talent)|Retribution]] which forms a shield to half the damage taken. The shield then explodes to deal light damage to surroundings when certain amount of damage is taken.

−
Paladins are limited in mobility (no [[Step up (talent)|Step Up]] option).  They make up for that by bringing an assortment of auxiliary damage buffs -- adding Light damage to melee attacks, doing Light damage to attacking monsters when hit, a one-tile Light damage-over-time talent, and a Fire beam, among others.

−
Paladins also get healing talents in the [[Light (category)|Light]] tree.

−
The biggest choice with this class is which of the Chants to develop (and when).
