* You often prefer melee combat during early and middle rounds. At that point in the game, your ranged weapon (the Crossbow) is not as effective as your Long Sword in most circumstances.

* You like Plate armor, but that means you tend to move more slowly than characters wearing other types of armor.

* And, since you often buy Plate armor, it seems like you can take more damage than most of the other classes.

* The best attack for a new Paladin is to zigzag your way to a target (avoiding arrows, bolts and beams along the way) and engage your enemy hand-to-hand. You can use your ranged attack as you make your approach, then switch to melee for the kill.

* You work well in tandem with another Paladin, especially when it comes to fighting tough monsters or single opponents. This works really well in close quarters combat, but less well in open areas.

* You are taller than most other player characters, and therefore a bit easier to target and hit.

* You can get the Gatling Crossbow super-weapon with enough funds. This is a rapid-fire weapon with an extremely long reload time (7 seconds!). It's right-click spread attack works best at point-blank range.
