in 1st edition when Unearthed arcana came out there was a specific prohibition against cavaliers (of which paladins were a subclass) using range weapons, including missile weapons, polearms, and two handed swords, i've always felt the best way to roleplay the paladin was along the same lines, and though i rarely rp a PnP cavalier, i tend to stay away from ranged weapons for rp reasons
