Paladins take their equipment very, very seriously.  They buy the
best they can afford.  It reflects their honor, status, and even 
principals.
*Shield= vow to uphold ethos.
*Sword= the edges represents the privilaged, and the common class.
*Armor= loyalty to state.
*Helmet= loyalty to religion.
*Clothing= purity of spirit.

ARMOR- Most Paladins strive for the full plate.  This is because of 
its protection and prestige.  This armor is very expensive, so most
Paladins will settle for banded or splint, or even the cheaper chain
mail.

SHIELD- Most Paladins will carry medium shields.  This is because 
they offer good protection from front and flank attacks.  They are 
also light enough to carry on horseback.

WEAPONS- Most Paladins will always carry a long sword, a lance, and a 
dagger.  The sword is rested in a wooden (cover with leather) scabbard
which attaches to his belt on the left side.  The dagger will hang 
from the opposite side.  Most Paladins will want a jousting lance. 
These are somewhat expensive so Paladins will opt for any other lance.
