dizzy, you oughta try out the SoA mod "The Darkest Day" (also known as TDD). It has tons of new kits, including something like 6 paladin kits.
I think that they are: Anti-paladin, Dark Knight, Cerebral Knight, Demon Slayer, Dragon Slayer, and Lord.

Personally my favorite paladin kit is Inquisitor. I love their special abilities. I've never been much to use a paladin's turn undead or clerical spells in battle. I've always seen paladins as tanks that should be in the front line, thus having no time for the luxury of spell casting or praying. (Isn't that what clerics are for?) True Sight and their super Dispel Magic (along with immunity to hold and charm) far more than make up for the loss.

I've never seen the inability of my paladin to attain more than 2* in any weapon as a limitiation. Instead, I've turned the limitation into a benefit. I see my paladin as being skilled in many different weapons. While I might have a character that is really locked into axes, for example, due to 5* in Axe and thus is limited in the goody weapons that he might find or buy, my paladin is more flexible and will be able have more options.
