In Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited (DDO), which is developed by Turbine, Inc., players have the ability to choose between eleven unique classes that fill a variety of roles. Every class has its own purpose and excels in different situations, so no class should be thought of as "worthless".

The Paladin Class of Dungeons and Dragons Online

Melee classes typically fight in close-hand combat and have little in the means of magic spells. They possess a high constitution, which gives them a large amount of life. Most melee classes also have a high strength and defense, which makes them an effective tanking character. Due to these attributes, the solo-ability of melee characters is fairly high. The paladin is one of these melee classes.

Paladins are described by DDO as "Paladins are extremely resilient and have a good balance of offense and defense. They protect and support allies better than the other melee classes, provide some healing, and wield the power of good as a mighty weapon."
