Paladins and abilities

[TGMaxMaxer]

So, if a paladin ceases to be lawful good, he loses all class features and spells until he atones, but keeps proficiencies and such.

If an archetype trades Heavy armor prof for a different feat(I.e. Divine hunter gets precise shot instead, several others do similar), do they lose that feat if they violate the code or their alignment changes as well until they atone? Or does it qualify under the retains all proficiencies?

Only worried about it because for PFS and some sticky GM's, you could be miles/days/a whole module from an atonement.

In a home game i'd say it is not a divinely granted ability so is under the weapons/armor/shield profs as this is what it was traded for.

Ok, so if you're a PFS paladin, and you're worried about alignment infractions, its best just to behave yourself.

Otherwise, A paladin who ceases to be lawful good, who willfully commits an evil act, or who violates the code of conduct loses all paladin spells and class features (including the service of the paladin's mount, but not weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies). She may not progress any further in levels as a paladin. She regains her abilities and advancement potential if she atones for her violations, as appropriate. emphasis minee

So, regardless of archtype, any proficiencies you keep. Every other feature is lost until you atone.

So, yes, if that other feat is not a proficiency, it is lost as per RAW.

Is it a weapon, armor, or shield proficiency? No? Then you'd lose it. So don't.
