# Paladins

### Benefits

* The strongest single-target damage output out of all classes. 
* Paladins can often hunt certain monsters at a lower level than other classes because of their high damage output and long range of attack.
* Paladins are cost-efficient and are the best class to profit with, despite the cost of ammunition. 
* It is much less of a problem for a paladin to fight monsters resistant to physical damage than it is for a knight, as they have a vastly higher damage output and can deal other types of damage much more efficiently. 
* Paladins advance very quickly in distance fighting, even faster than knights do in melee skills. 
* Quick advancement in shielding (at the same rate as knights). 
* Rather fast advancement in melee skills (slower than knights, but faster than mages), making melee combat a possible alternative when out of ammunition, though it's likely viable only at a lower level. 
* Access to a solid array of spells. 
* More capacity than sorcerers and druids. 
* More hitpoints and faster regeneration than sorcerers and druids. 
* More mana and faster regeneration than knights. 
* Faster advancement in magic level than knights.

### Promotion

When a Paladin reaches level 20, they can purchase a promotion and become an Royal Paladin with certain benefits.
