I am soon starting a campaign set in the Age of Mortals following the War of Souls, and I plan to include paladins in my campaign. I saw the prestige class version of a paladin on the d20 SRD, and I thought it more appropriate to Dragonlance than the standard paladin. The reason for my opinion is that the DLCS book states that paladins on Krynn are rare champions of the Gods of Light, and that the Gods of Light would probably want to test a person's faith for some time before allowing him or her to become a paladin. I am very close to disallowing the base class paladin and just using the prestige version. What do you guys think?

The prestige paladin can be found here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/prestigiousCharacterClasses.htm#prestigePaladin

I've used the paladin class a lot in Dragonlance as-is. In fact, Mishakal has a cadre of elven paladins in Southern Ergoth and Cristyne in the adventure Price of Courage.

Cheers,

I am confuse. I have read the new novells and now i know that is gives Paladins at Krynn. Early i have believe the Knight of the Rose are a somewhat like a Paladin. But not 08/ 15 Paladins. Is is not blasphemy that a class of Krynn have the same name how a god? Particularly with regard when they serve to a other god? "Paladin" can not save the copyright of his name. Sad but true.

Do not confuse Paladine and paladins. Paladins are rare champions of good in the world. The first paladins were probably champions of Paladine and bore his name in pride.

Are now i understand, is a language- respectively translation trouble. By us is his name Paladin and Paladine is the plural of paladin. So it gives not the disflection how in the original, but we come to the same effect through ambiguous.
