Sorry but I have to ask this:

I'm new to the Pathfinder World and I have problem to see the fantasy behind a paladin.

I can see why Seelah and Koren can be called paladin but Raz? She don't seem to have any faith in a deity. She wants to be different and therefore she becomes a paladin? It feels like she is a self-proclaimed paladin. She looks more like a cavalier to me.

I often compare paladin to similar classes and try to find the differences. For Pathfinder I compare the paladin with the cleric. In RotR I can see that the cleric is better in divine/casting and the paladin in battling with weapons. But with the class decks (cleric/paladin) this changed. While paladin still struggle in casting the cleric seems to be on the same level when fighting with weapons. Raz and Koren have a Strength d8 +2 Melee while Seelah has the d10 +2. The cleric on the other hand have Heggal with a Strength d8 +2, Kyra and Tarlin with d10 +2 and well Zarlova as a more spell oriented cleric. Specially Tarlin looks like a paladin for me.

Additionally why is the amount of blessings in the paladin cards list so low? The RotR Seelah has 6 Blessings (This Seelah and Raz have 3 and Koren has 4). This was another of my criteria for the paladin class.
