What is a paladin in dragon quest 9?

Answer 1

A paladin is one of the vocations that you have to unlock. A paladin is a holy knight - in DQ9 a Paladin is your 'tank', he or she protects his or her companions by intercepting damage aimed at them, as well as being tough and heavily armoured enough to survive it. Paladins can equip wands, hammers and swords, as well as shields, and can equip almost all of the piece of heavy armor. They can use moves that damage an opponent as well as heal HP and Mana.
