A paladin who ceases to be follow his alignment, who willfully commits an act contrary to their alignment, or who grossly violates their code of conduct, loses all abilities, spells, and benefits. It may be possible for them to atone for their crimes and regain the abilities, as determined by their superiors.
Note that the process of atoning is often fatal, as it usually involves dangerous and solo quests. Additionally, a penitent who dies in the process of atoning is considered dishonored, as it is obvious that they did not have the holy strength to complete his mission, and their name is permanently struck from the roster of their order.

-* Like [[Monk]]s, Paladins may take levels of the [[Cleric]] class without penalty, as long as their paladin level is always at least one higher than their cleric level.
-* The mechanics for the class power [[Turn Undead]] have been significantly revised; please see the appropriate page for more details.
