Paladin Apprentices

Paladin apprentices are newly appointed members of their order. Although they typically are not as skilled as the rest of their order, their training still makes them a much more capable force than most guards and soldiers. Due to their inexperience, they typically are charged with lesser tasks such as safeguarding temples and are rarely tasked with extremely important missions without the support of other apprentices or at least a more seasoned paladin.
