The way you just cut to the main bit before making me wait through a 20 minute essay to kill time made me subscribe.
I really do appreciate that you make it clear that there is no "correct" build. I havent been able to make it very far into the game since getting it since it seems like everytime i start a run some new video comes out that says "oh you like paladin? Well if you don't do this then you're f'd"
Don't worry too much about builds your first time through, just play, enjoy the story and decisions you make, worry about builds and minmaxing much after. Your first run cannot and will not be perfect.
My first playthrough was a paladin and I did warlock. I would just kill stuff left and right
@@Karnyyy
First playthrough I got all the tieflings killed in moonrise because I did not think about killing all the guards beforehand lmao
Those are channels you don't listen to..
There's always re-speccing. It's fairly cheap(compared to the Owlcat games).
Just a heads up for anyone going down the lockadin path make sure you bind or summon your pact weapon after every long rest. If you forget to bind/summon then get into a fight you do not get the pact extra attack and you can't bind/summon during battle
Man I just wanna say your videos are fantastic. They are very respectful of people's time with how you point out everything at the start. You've made my baldurs gate runs so enjoyable 👍👍👍
Thought the same thing. Many times you have to skip through to find the point but this build up is on point!
My build is Paladin 2 (Oath of the Ancients), Bard 8 (College of Swords), Warlock 2 (Great Old One). I like the addition of Mortal Reminder, eldritch blast, hex, and devil sight. I'm also a half-elf drow so I get darkness at level 5. I went fighting style protection, and dueling. Teamwork makes the dream work!
despite on whatever stuff you said on your first few sentences of the video, im always watch till the end, thank you man, great content
Great vid, love your guides! Helped me so much :) not sure if you have done it, but I’d love to see a step by step Bard/Paladin build and a companion step by step build! This is by first game of this type and I’ve found your guides extremely helpful.
I've been doing a run with your death knight lockadin build. So much fun.
Hey ItalianSpartacus ! Been watching your videos for a while now and really loved your video on Nurgle and hoped to see one on the other three gods too to hopefully make a full party of evil acolyts !
Omg dude you helped me find my place in this game as i like to do a bit of all roles in a party which i been trying to figure out myself but your in depth description of these has helped me so much keep up the good work and thanks again mate
My absolute pleasure brother :)
Thank you for the video! Really helped clarify multiclassing a pally
Thanks for the detailed explanations as always!
My pleasure!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
I've been enjoying a build i call the War Pally.
5 Fighter - riposte,precision,surge,fighting style
2 Pally - just for divine smite - afaik charisma does not scale or increase divine smite damage, or give enough spell slots.
5 War cleric - War priest tokens are awesome for extra attacks, and you'll get additional spell slots and buffs/summon. Spiritual guardian's too.
So essentially 2 attacks normally, war priest tokens to fuel more attacks, surge, and fighter die utility.
Something like 17 str / 16 con /14 dex as the focus.
the absolute strongest possible paladin is 2 vengeance paladin, 6 college of swords bard, 4 storm sorcerer. can slashing flourish to do multiple smites in one attack, mobile flourish smite to move enemies around, defensive flourish smite to add ac, not to mention the extra 1d8 damage added with every flourish. shield reaction spell for even more ac, plenty of high level spell slots, up to 46 ac, and the ability to fly after a smite to go anywhere without taking an attack of opportunity, and the ability to quicken spell crowd control. there is literally no stronger paladin in honor mode.
Whoa okay I really wanna see this.. Is there a vid on youtube?
This sounds like such a fun build idea
Is that build in order of level, like first 2 paladin, then bard then sorcerer? I'd love to try this build so what order do you level into it?
@@dantegenso1485 yup in that order, if you are re-specing an already leveled toon, otherwise if you plan to level as this i recommend you start as swords bard, then respec at level 8 to 2 paladin 6 bard.
@@ThinkingCap_ I've yet to see a build video on it, but I might make a vid myself if I can find free time.
first time on your channel and your voice is so smooth, hooked me in subd right away
Very good video, thanks man!
Are you planning to do this style of video for the rest of the classes? I found this super helpful, as per usual with your videos. 🙏
I was actually considering it. I'll do a poll to see if people are interested!! :)
Right now I’m trying a Paladin Cleric build with heavy leaning on my wisdom and using those cleric spells for fun combat setups. And can smite by burning the cleric slots
Worth mentioning that if you go Oathbreaker you cant respec without first retaking your oath. (which costs 1k gold) and then breaking it again. Its a lot of faff and expense just to shuffle a few attributes around that no other class has to deal with.
I’m dealing with this right now. I wanted to multiclass into warlock then respec to use charisma instead of strength but then I’d have to break my oath again to keep the build I want. It’s such a hassle I might just keep oathbreaker and deal with a less optimized build
I did a 5 warlock (pact of the blade) and 7 Vengeance Paladin. Took a great weapon master feat, so as long as you get one kill or crit, you can make 4 attacks per turn, not including smites. Throw on a bloodlust elixir and that’s 7 attacks per turn with a crit/kill. The bound hammer that Dammon sells in act 2 is amazing for that and I still use it in act 3. Add the drake glaive buff to it, and your weapon is just insane.
After honor mode removed the 3rd attack from warlock paladin, I think the build will die out soon
Dude, awesome video! Definitely using one of these. Keep it up, bro!
I’d like to make an honorable mention for barb multiclassing. You can use heavy armour and forget rage for high ac but take 2 levels purely for reckless attack. Enemies are more likely to attack you when they have advantage but you still have a high ac! Making an effective tank that lands a ton of heavy hits with GWM.
Just saw your video i noticed pact of the blade charisma doesnt stack damage with str for damage anymore and i made the mistake of being an oath breaker and already respeccing once and breaking the oath yet again ... this and great weapon master i lose 3 pts to hit and end up losing damage, does the extra attk with pact weapon later with warlock need to have pact weapon up or can i get away without pacting my weapon and still getting my third strike cause well this would make up for the damage if i can get all 3 attks off?
Honestly as someone who was so unsure on multiclassing as I’m kinda new to dnd media’s and not sure if it is worth it to multiclass this one video sold me on it so thanks
At the risk of passing on the dreaded altitis infection, go wild. There's very few multiclass combinations that are truly bad and you can always use Withers to respec if something really isn't working for you. The game even has an Achievement called Jack of All Trades for having a character with one level in each class without respeccing, so don't be afraid to try something crazy.
Think of your favourite superhero or something, then go to Withers and re-spec some Hirelings a few times, using BG3 wiki class pages as a guide, and figure out which class combo comes closest to your concept. Then go and start yet another new game, only to think of a new idea and start the whole damn process over.
I've always loved my bardadin of ancient lore. I get shield master feat helping my Dex saves, and using my expertise in athletics to trip everything to give my party advantage. It's just a really good combo that adds tons of utility and battlefield control while keeping the skills and durability in combat.
I would like to see a video on two different classes. They are prestige classes that i found interesting back in 3.5. Shadowbane Inquisitor(paladin/rogue) and shadowbane stalker (cleric/rogue). Your videos have given me some great ideas for future playthroughs.
Not exactly a pure cleric/rogue, but ive got a play through where i have shadowheart running as a gloomstalker 5/war cleric 1 and assassin 3.
Also for paladin/rogue(sort of), i got astarion as a thief rogue 4/swords bard 6 and vengeance pally 2.
just asking if anyone knows a good slayer build im thinking if you can go berserk the turn slayer or would tiger bleed be better ?
For the bard paladin what’s the lvl process like do I just go six pal then 6 bard or do like 2 into paladin then 5 into bard then finish the rest in paladin, sry if I’m being over complicating it
Will it be possible for you to make a paladin necromancer
Which would you recommend for a 4 8 split on honor?
14:39 I’m curious about what you think about taking a level of wizard -either with sorcerer or just with Paladin. This gives scribe scroll which seems useful, but not sure?
Not sure if I missed this, but when is the best time to start multiclassing? Do I get 6/7 levels of paladin first and then move to bard/sorcerer/warlock or what's the best strategy here?
For Honor mode Pal 2/3 Bard 6 Lock 3/4 seems like a decent choice for pure smite damage and getting the pure Charisma weapon scaling from Warlock subclass, while at least having the dual attack from Bard lvl 6 (2 Enemies next to eachother)
What are the benefits of just going full paladin compared to multiclassing?
I made Karlach a level 3 wild mage barbarian and level 5 oath of ancients paladin polearm mastery, I’m going to the rest in war cleric , it’s pretty good as a backup character
Would an oathbreaker and war cleric work to add lots of aoe buffs to a zombie horde?
Paladin 2 / bard 10 is usually what I see, the other multiclasses usually have 5-7 levels of paladin depending on oath
I did 6 oath of vengeance, 3 rogue arcane trickster, and 3 fighter champion. Cast vow of enmity on myself at the beginning of each combat to have advantage, do sneak attacks or smites and have multiple attacks to just do a ton of damage per turn
What’s the level should with sorcerer/ paladin
Can you get the third attack with Warlock multi class still as long as you’re not in honor mode or is it patched?
I play a sorcadin with a 1 war domain cleric dip, this way i can start with sorceror (and have con proficiency) and still be able to use heavy armor.
Would multi-classing into warlock sorcerer and paladin be viable? Example 5 Paladin 3 Sorcerer 4 warlock?
I would love to see a vid for Fire sorc since you've made ice and thunder it would be nice to see a dragon/fire build
Honestly I think my favorite Paladin Multiclass might have to be Paladin/War Domain Cleric. It’s like playing a Paladin that’s 50% extra divine justice
Oatbreak and fiend is pretty crazy :)
There is a build that I am using lately that has the best sustained damage per round and that is DW Paladin 2 / Bard 6 / Thief 4. You get 4 smites per round.
Why can't you do 3 attacks on honor mode as lockadin?
I LOVE swords bard/paladin
Hey thanks for this video! Question: At what level do I start multiclassing my paladin? Do I wait for level 6 and then add whatever other class I want or do I pick up a level or 2, get paladin to 6 and then continue on?
You want to get to 5 at absolute minimum! At 5 you'll have multi attack unlocked then you just go wild!
Thanks for the quick reply! W content creator!
Hahaha thanks brother
i quite like 4 warlok 8 paladin, as we get 3 feats, and sure, we lose the third attack, i feel like its a worthy trade.
can you please do a Wildfrom build and Good video so far
I switch classes like every encounter. It’s really hard for me to role-play in this game. I really like temporarily multi classing people into cleric or wizards are even one point in storm sorcery just to fly after using magic just to cost some trouble
Is the extra attack from warlock paladin blade pact not stacking in honor mode a nerf or a bug ?
Depends on how you look at it. From a tabletop perspective, they shouldn't stack so that they do is a bug which is fixed in honour mode. But you could also see it as either a House rule or an unintended stacking that Larian liked but wanted to nerf for honour mode.
I really enjoy Oathbreaker/Blade Lock, I only go 3 into Lock for a bit of ranged capability and Devil Sight. Dropping Darkness and watching the dude go nuts on enemies that can't even see him is great, especially as enemy ranged units have to brave the darkness to go after him.
i do like the extra feat of 4 lock 8 din. it allow us to dump both dex and str, and focus on con and charisma, and just pick alertness for initiative. which will be far more usefull than 14 dex. it also let us pick 2 atributes to end at 20 charisma base, and a third choice for personal preference.
@@marcosdheleno I ended up 7 Oathbreaker, 3 Warlock, 2 Fighter. I've got the Str gloves and Con neck, so I'm not too fussed about the stats but I get it. I would definitely love Alert for that Initiative. I sorta want to try out Paladin/Sorc next thought for just more general utility and smite.
@@keithjones5568 i love games that do this, allow you to play around with builds, and come up with a diverse number of choices when it comes to gameplay.
also, love the fact you can just respec whenever, and whoever.
Am I losing my mind? How did you have level 5 spell slots on a Pal 6/Bard 6?
Listening to this it gives me an idea. Instead of 5 warlock go 3 warlock and 2 tempest clr. This will add max crit thunder smites but loose a feat. An I'm only suggesting this for honour mode since the pact extra atk doesn't work.
Dex build Vengence Paladin 6 /Assassin Rogue 6 is pretty brutal
I like the WarPal
Dude, You are not stupid. Actually very smart
If we ignore Baldur's Gate rules, Paladin + Cleric will be the most linear combination. In some games, Cleric is even designed as lower level version of Paladin. But because Baldur's Gate or DnD in general use 3 different mental type as spellcasting atttibute while Cleric and Paladin have different spellcasting attribute, combining them both needs more and more consideration and strategy. One of strategies that I can think of is the use of elixir of hill/cloud giant strength.
Honestly, as someone who started the game as a Monkbarian with zero self preservation, but seeing as i was wanting to go from Ballanced to Tactician i wanted to do more research, and i saw people talking about the "Dragon Knight", as a fan of the Dragonborn race i looked into it and slowly showed up here to do heavy research from curiosity
I like 5 paladin 7 warlock for the lvl 4 spell slots on short rest!
Paladin lvl 5 / warlock lvl 5 and maybe lvl 2 in fighter or cleric war domain
Oathbreaker Paladin/Pact of the Blade Warlock 7/5. 3 attacks and adding charisma to your damage is very good. And Agonizing Eldritch Blast is an amazing ranged option. Full plate and shield, and you are almost a perfect hybrid character. High AC, powerful melee, powerful ranged, darkness as oath spell and devil's sight and you extremely dangerous.
Doesn't work on Honor Mode.
@@Neonmirrorblack Guess you'd then go 9 Paladin/3 Warlock. Still get lvl 3 spells, including Animate Dead. And undeads should get dmg bonus from Paladin.
@@dianabialaskahansen2972Unfortunately none of them do. It’s an oversight I wish would be fixed but no undead wield melee weapons. The only ally who can benefit from it is yourself or summoned cambions
@@plagueamer4877 That is sad. Only used the 7/5 combo before.
@@dianabialaskahansen2972 i would, instead go 8/4 paly/lock. you get that third feat, which is amazing, as it gives so many options, alertness so we can dump dex, 2 atributes for 20 charisma. and so on.
I swear I Know this voice... very well... fascinating.
Great video. Im little bit confuse. Lol. What is the most powerful paladin to play with???
And what caracter is the most powerfful
There isn't one! That's the point :) it's all based off of what you want. You can turn any character into one that'll kick assss
In my opinion the worst part of paladin in a lot of paladin multiclass, is levels in paladin past level 2. The bonuses past level 2 are not really as good as getting divine smite, and sind swords bard is a martial subclass Bard 10 Paladin 2 is my submission fot best mix, giving you extra attack, magical secrets, flourishes, and the maximum level 11 caster (6th level spell slot) for your divine smites on top of bard's full suite of control spells
Or if you want all things to scale off charisma sword bard 6 blade warlock 4 paladin 2 is also fantastic, or if you want aura of hate paladin 7 blade warlock 4 war cleric 1 is a good dip to grant 3 attacks as a bonus action per long rest
Very strong build, 6/6 warlock paladin is what I prefer personally tho tbh
Smites only scale to 4th level, right? So 5th and 6th level slots, if used for smites, are basically 4th level IIRC. Am I remembering that right?
@@blackhat4206 Bard gets banishing smite through magical secrets - which is pretty cool. Though I personally love paladin aura of protection to improve everyone's saving throws.
I generally use banishing smite as a bow bard rather than a melee bard
@@yamezt Being the only way to obtain that spell due to paladins not reaching the level requirement does make it completely unique to Magical Secrets. That alone makes it up the cool factor a bit.
10/2 is definitely the strongest Paladin multiclass. It's not even close.
When you said “smite slam fuck the shit out of them” I subscribed lmao love 14:20
Warlock7 paladin 5 feels ideal to me. You get to remove your strength attribute dependence, and get a third attack, and get to use your paladin slots for utility and warlock slots for beefy level 4 smites that refresh on a short rest. Paladin 7 warlock 5 is good too
No third attack in honour mode, also hill giant/cloud giant elixers are so strong and readily available that using charisma for attack is not needed
There's a weapon I think around Moonrise that will add cha to your dmg even if it's your pact weapon. It doubles your char mod giving you a +10 instead of the +8 from storm giant potions.
@@sgtslaughter54Name please?
Is the lockadin nerfed in honor mode? So no 3 attacks?
I guess its pretty much everything was nerfed that was very cheesable before honor mode
Great friggin' video!
PS: It's pronounced "For all intents and purposes", regardless of their 'intensive'-ness ;)
sorcadin vs bardadin??

Starterclass: Barbarian (CON Saving Thows)
- LV1: Rage
- LV2: Reckless Attack
Paladin
- LV3 (P1): Oath
- LV4 (P2): Fight Syle, Divine Smite
- LV5 (P3): Spellcasting

Try to Avoid most Concentration Spells, because Rage breaks concentration and use your spellslots only on Crit-Smites. If you use Ethals Hair (+1Cha), take +2STR on your last Feat instead. Use Medium armor and get the 18DEX-Gloves from the Gith in the creche.
One thing where BG3 really falls behind, is showing what you'll be getting later on creation/level up. Right at the beginning of the video, when you're showing off Healing Radience is a PRIME example of this.
How in the EVER LOVING FUCK is a new player supposed to know what this is going to be doing later without having to go reach for an outside source? There's absolutely NOTHING on that card that shows anything about a per level, or proficiency bonus. Beyond that, you have no clue what a given class will be getting at 3rd, or 6th, or Nth level.
I absolutely agree and a way of seeing what you achieve in the progression of a class I feel would encourage a lot of players to try out new or different classes as well. Every class for the most part evolves differently and a Level 6 class even is so much different than a Level 1 of the same class
they could add a class compendium, that explains it. almost like a mini wiki or player handbook.
Sadly deepened pact not working on my installation of bg3
1. You have to activate the pact on the weapon after every long rest.
2. Extra attack stacking doesnt work in honor mode
@@maxsotero6689 I've pact bound my weapon playing on balanced still not working, thinking of reinstalling the gamw at this point
I always preferred something more simple after running a hexblade paladin in regular dnd. Warlock Paladins and sorcerer paladins sound really cool on paper but they usually end up being extremely "bloated" in the sense that they end up having so much shit that they can do that you'll either never use a lot of their capabilities or you'll only rarely use some features of the multiclass. In short, you end up with TOO many options which isnt always a good thing.
Paladin is extremely easy to multiclass into but really hard to multiclass out of because it's such a strong class.
Personally I prefer going eldritch knight fighter for 5 levels, taking 2 levels into Paladin for smite, then finishing the next 5 levels as a fighter when it comes to bg3.
That way you get access to more than enough spells and you're essentially playing as a paladin that can smite multiple times in a turn if you take Great weapon master.
man i hate eldritch knight, its a class that makes no sense to me.
its a wizard fighter(using int for spells), but its called eldritch, which is associated with warlocks(who use charisma instead)
they should've named it something diferent, like magic knight, or spellblade.
also they are forced to become too thin on the spread sheet, because they have to focus on so many diferent attributes.
one of the biggest problems i have is that, bound weapon doesnt work like pact of the blade for them. which IT SHOULD. allowing them to disregard str and dex and using int for attacks instead.
i can garantee, that if they were given that trait, ALOT MORE people would pick them. it would also be nice if they had flame blade. a spell that feels made for them, but that they dont get access to because its druid exclusive.
imagine, if they would get a choice of summoned weapon, they could pick? flame blade, or ice rapier, stone hammer, lightning spear, and so on. they could pick one, and that would be their bound weapon instead. and as they level the class, the weapon would become stronger as well.
On honor mode, 3 warlock > 5 warlock for a lockadin.
I am in the first half of Act 3 with my all Paladin Group. I only multi-classed after 8 levels in Paladin. My party is my character 11 Pally, Asterion is 8 Pal/3 Rogue (Thief and Dex based), Shadowheart 8Pal/3 Cleric of Light, and Lae'zel 8 Pal/3 Fighter (Battle Master). Been a great ride so far!!
Can we get a detailed bardadin guide please?
Just wanna say that Oathbreaker + Great Old One Warlock + Pact of the Blade is absolutely busted
How about 5 levels of paladin, 5 levels of warlock and 2 levels of warrior. if you are telling the truth about the fact that the contract of the blade allows you to attack again, together with the paladin you attack 3 times. and if you take 2 levels of war with extra life, you can attack 2-3 times again. What do you think about it?
It's usually worth going to paladin 6 for aura of protection for the char boost to saving throws especially on a lockadin as it's pretty SAD
@ItalianSpartacus 2 level vengeance paladin/10 sword bard is much better option 💪
Only way to play this class is to go oath breaker on a dark urge play through. The high charisma, high strength combo doesn't feel great for a majority of the playthrough, until you get a certain item that makes your base constitution 23. But by then your at end game.
Thanks for your videos, you put in a ton of work 💙
@@myst0ne Paladin is pretty good on it's own. You don't really have to multiclass. You could try Wizard or Sorcerer though. Even Cleric. There's some evil deities you could be worshipping for RP purposes.
@@myst0neI'm going with 9 Paladin 3 Fighter when it's all said and done
So i have a mod that lets me level up to lvl20 so i'm doing 8 (oathbreaker) Paladin and 12 warlock
Does that add new abities per level from 5e or is it basically just for spell slots and multiclassing?
spell slots and a level 12 i believe your warlock spells go up to level 5.... i did get the 5e spells mod as well as 2e spells and it is so much fun@@hoeraufist
Why doesn’t warlock Paladin work in honor mode?
It was an unintended exploit that they kept in hut fixed for honor mode for added difficulty
@@italianspartacus so you do you suggest to not multi class anymore or what class should I multi class to?
If you go lvl 10 bard you get a secret smite skill called banishing smite(force damage). There is no other way to get the skill.
Best part is unlike banishment which is cha save. Banishing smite has no save. You instantly banish. No questions asked. Unfortunately the 50hp limitation makes it situational
bro i wanted to make heavy everything paladin. heavy armor big health heavy hit every time 99% chance of hitting just a tank
Think I broke honour mode.. Lvl10 Oathbreaker with illitth powers 😂😂
Good timing... I'm starting my 1st Paladin.
SPOILER ALERT~~~ So, do we ever get the parasite out of our head? Or is that the end of the game? I am actually skipping some areas intending to come back when I have gotten rid of it. I have this anxiousness as I play that makes me want it out, as much as the avatars do. I feel like I will be able to relax once it's gone. If I knew that the whole game is an adventure to remove the bug, then I would be able to relax and settle in right now.
The parasite is going to be with you up until the end.
@@happypessimist9010 Thank you... I will adjust my expectations.
Edrahils bro
There is actually a best though: 10 Bard/2 Paladin. It's objectively the strongest of the bunch when playing on Honor Mode (no pact of the blade stacking). Vengeance is also the best Paladin with that combination, not Ancients. Sword Bard is way stronger with this multi as well. It does massive damage and can basically carry your group, and it also does CC rather well.
A build I can recommend with a Paladin is a 5/2/5 Multiclass. It's not as powerful in Honor mode, but it's a crit fishing damage stacker.
Githyanki(this is important for Gith Weapons,which gives you +1d4 or +1d6 psychic with your weapon.
2 levels in Paladin( you can start as warlock, but it's very useful to multiclass out of the paladin for that heavy armor proficiency)
5 Levels of Warlock, great old one with a pact of the blade subclass.
5 Fighter, Champion for that 5% crit chance enhancement.
Stack everything that gives your damage an additional damage die.
With crit equipment you can crit on a 16 which can give you up to 10d6+charisma even before your smite. 8d8 for a level 3 smite.
Your equipment has 3 keystone items, risky ring, Reaper's embrace and the speedy lightfeet. Everything else is just to contribute to your damage like the ring of regeneration and broodmother's revenge combo. With the helldusk gloves you have 2d6 slashing, 1d6 psychic, 1d6 fire and 1d6 poison. And when you only smite on crit with great weapon fighting style and savage attacker you can get frankly unreasonable amounts of damage out of one attack. Of course with only 4 spell slots your number of smites is somewhat limited but it's a quality over quantity approach with that one.
Doing a Wank now (Warlock/Monk)
It seems there is no opponent in the whole game that is immune to radiant.
You cannot have haste and spirit guardians unless haste is cast by someone other than the one running spirit guardians. The video made it sound otherwise but maybe I
misheard. Concentration is a bitch and i forget about it all the time- its painful.
This is barely a Paladin build, but my favorite build with Paladin is 4 Vengeance Paladin/ 6 Sword Bard/ Two Sorcerer
This is a dex Paladin that wields two crit boosting weapons, a crit boosting bow and helm.
With these items and advantage (which you get for free with vow of enmity) you have about a 50% crit chance, and can attack three times per round with your offhand.
If you do this you should get the savage attacker feat which rerolls damage dice (including smite) for the beefiest crits
Sorcerer is there because smite only scales up to Lv.4 slots so you can use SP and spell slot items to get the most usable spell slots for smite

Random comment for RUclips algorithm
most useful paladins are pure ones or 3 lvl fighter multiclasses others can't be called paladin anyway
