Let us take one thing at a time:

1) The paladin quest is completed by walking up to the Altar of Serran (basically a statue of an angel in the south-west corner of the map of the region sorrounding Valeia; it is near the Gypsy hideout by Nymph Lake). Say "Sanctus Kerah" to the statue and return to the Valeia temple. Your character will then become paladin.

2) Neither the paladin quest nor the paladin role has any effects on your items. To enchant or bless an item you must have a spellcaster with the necessary enchantment spells. These spells are the so-called artefact spells; they are called the "artefact of fiend", "artefact of spirit", and so forth for every spell category. With these spells you can enchant items in the wizards' guild and bless items in the priests' guild. In the best tips thread is a subject on the further effects of the enhancements of the weapons and armours. Depending on the blessing/enchanting skills of the spellcaster (and your financial situation) the items can become bequeathed with several enhancements.

3) The issue of hit-points has been the subject of many a discussion. Radek has made an excellent topic on the matter. The genaral points of the explanation can be found here. Basically it can be very frustrating waiting to get more hit-points, so I suggest you just protect yourself with good armour and have the capability of casting healing spells. You can also exploit the "toughen bug". That you do by casting the "toughen" spell (a vine spell) on your character as many times as you can and then enter a town. Once you leave the raise in hitpoints has become permanent instead of just temporary which was the meaning. I am not sure if this bug only works in the unpatched version of the game.

4) As to why your game freezes there can be many explanations, but sometimes it just does. To echo Bungleau: (and Missy Hissy who always seem to whisper good ideas in his ear

) "Save often... etc."

Sometimes installing the patch will help against some crashes. But then there are some bugs you cannot exploit and which are worth exploiting.
