The ability to play an EVIL paladin, a warrior devoted to the EVIL gods, like the Knights of Takhisis(Dragonlance reference), it also lacks NEUTRAL paladins, like some sort of holy policeforce sworn to uphold order and truth, both the EVIL and the NEUTRAL paladins would be restricted to being lawful though, since paladins have a strict code which they must obey.
You can't have evil or neutral paladins. The very nature of the paladin means that he is a holy warrior, bound by strict codes and tenets. In return they receive divine favors and powers.

Evil paladins are not paladins, they're called blackguards in 3rd ed., the most famous of which is Scyllua Darkhope, Castellan of Zhentil Keep. They must be lawful evil.
