I for one disagree, in PnP Paladins are my favorite class, mine are always good, and usually not arrogant at all, except the one I based off of a whitecloak from Wheel of Time, and you can have great times with them, I'll use the case of Sir Yeoman Johnson (the original Yeoman Johnson is a made up name from an old Eddie Murphy stnd up comedy show where he talked about the red-shirt in teh original star treck series, ie when they form the away team they had Kirk, Spock, Bones, and the poor red-shirt, Yeoman Johnson, who's gonna die in that group) anyway I took Dudly Do-right's personality and adapted it to a paladin, the result was a powerful warrior who's only interest was in upholding the greater good, who was completely ignorant of his evil companions, one battle that almost led to his death involved a battle against undead, the party's 1/2ling thief(Neutral Evil) was throwing his daggers to little effect and so Yeoman Johnson gallantly stood next to him and protected the "fine upstanding young halfling" from the evil zombies the result was that his protection from evil aura ended up causing the halfling to miss more than he had been before but the paladins heart was in the right place, and he couldn't argue against the rest of the group. so that night he tried to slit Yeoman Johnson's throat.
Anyway I loved Ajantis from BG1, and never really cared for Keldorn, Annoying man(aka Ano the dung orc, or Anomen) is nothing short of an arrogant piece of crap, despite his decent stats and fair to middling combat abilities, but don't judge the class off of a very bad representation of the ultimate warrior for truth and justice. the hard to find knight in shining armor
