Their hit dice and to-hit chart is that of a fighter.

IIRC once Unearthed Arcana came out Paladins were treated as a type of Cavalier rather than a fighter. So if they lost their Paladin status they became a Cavalier of equal level.

Dammit, and I'd promised myself that I wouldn't buy into this thread!

I've played both AD&D and the 3.x edition (and have books for both in my shelves). I've made a decission of not even considering touching the 4th edition due to the vastly altered mechanics. Might also have to do with my wife not wanting to see another shelf full of RPG books (my library is a rather good one, inthat department and otherwise).

Yeah; it also let half-elves become paladins (since 1/2e could be Cavaliers, too).

Never much used UA.

I have the pdf of most of the pathfinder and ver 4 of the game.
