I see him as willing very hard to help those in needs (anyone else who looks weaker to him, pretty much everyone else) but have some problems to see what happens around him. (i.e. can be to much concetrate on defeating an opponent to realise that the rest of the party be beaten by some others foes, or just plain absent minded) How would you roleplay such a character?

He may also be quick to label others as heretical or wicked in their thinking whenever they disagree with him. He doesn't necessarily burn people at the stake, but he tends to be very high-and-mighty.

Personally though I'd suggest Fighter. You don't gain the magic abilities of the Paladin, but he could still act very paladin like. For example, he never felt worthy of becoming a paladin, but still aspires to become one. He could even follow a version of the paladin's code, but make mistakes in judgement that simply aren't paladinlike.

If I remember well, that was within 2nd edition, in 3.0 or 3.5 you still can be a paladin with a low wisdom score but unless you got 11 or more you won't be able to cast spells More on my character I'm want him to be honor driven or to try to be honorable as much as he understand the concept. He want to follow the leads, and the deeds of his ancestors. He is strong willed mostly because he belive in himself and have a strong personality (my interpretation of the Force of personality feat in CV) Also he won't back from a fight unless be dishonored (Implacable flaw from Dragon #32x )

Eventually, he completed his studies and decided to venture out into the world as a Palladin. He always had horrible plans coming from something he had read in a book. Thus, he missed the subtle gradations of people. Indeed, the _idea_ of making a plan was alien to him. Heros didn't need plans! Virtue equals success! Yours, SWZ
