I took a arrow to the knee .. ok not really
After a million and 2 paladin falls threads I decided to help people out these are just somethings I've seen a paladin fall for:
Someone sneezed and he didn't say 'deity' bless you
Mind control
Forgot to clean up his room before adventuring
And bard with a whip trip...
Stairs
And flat surfaces
If anyone else has anything that has made a paladib fall comment below
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS MAN
Forgot one fell because he forgot to tie his shoes ... alright I'm done joking around.... for now

One fell by slipping on a puddle in a department store. They got a settlement and decided to retire.

Have you ever seen a paladin fall . . . in love?
Roll-playing a fighter with smite and expecting actions not to have consequences.
Elaborate, please.

When I was younger and more immature, my Paladin had a habit of hitting on female NPCs.
That is, until one day when he encountered a lady of the evening in a plague-infested city. Out of character, I stated "Well, my character has the gold to spare, and he is immune to disease."
He lost his powers. And contracted the disease.
(Got an atonement afterwards, and I think a Remove Disease spell, but it was still pretty funny. Oh, the memories of Living Greyhawk; I even think that was a Jason Bulmahn adventure)

I used to be a paladin like you until i saw the blackguard in the 3.5 dm guide and decided to disembowel the entire population of a small thorpe to become one.

I intentionally had a paladin fall once. The DM had set up a let the villain escape or let the hostage die situation. I killed the hostage, and then killed the bad guy. I rped that I felt the hostage was doomed no mater what and a quick death was a mercy. I was only second level, so I just let ex paladin levels sit there, moved to a LN Judge Dredd outlook on life and leveled up as a sorcerer into dragon disciple.

One of my favorite characters to game with was a paladin named Androval (Fighter Paladin) arranged his own fall.
He had the whole party snowed. Eventually made a pact with a demon, acquired some fiendish grafts. Kept adventuring with the party, thanks to an amulet of undetectable alignment and a hat of disguise.
His sister was another paladin (Cleric Paladin) who had no idea, or if she did know, refused to believe it.
Eventually they faced off in a titanic clash. There was a gate that was going to let a Demon Prince/Archdevil into the world, and she was going to close it. (Needed to channel a bunch of positive energy into the gate to close it, and would have taken both of them to do it.) "I can't let you do that, Torea. I have a bargain to uphold."
It nearly shattered her spirit right then and there, and if she had fallen (Androval's goal) it would have meant the end of the heroes, and ushering in an evil campaign.
As it stood, the archfiend still manifested into the world, and in the ensuing chaos, he fled, and she was forced to retreat.
(Eventually their conflict was resolved, the archfiend banished, and remains one of my favorite campaigns.)

I took a arrow to the knee ..
It is markedly hard to remain standing with an arrow in one's knee, so I think this qualifies.
There sure are an awful lot of paladin threads on this subforum nowadays, aren't there?...

That time of the month.
Next up is rogues or monks.
Paladins always comes up after fighter thread.
Fighter threads comes up after the monk and rogue threads.
and so on and so on.
Sometimes the devs will do something that breaks up the cycle, but eventually everything will settle and the next round will begin.
It is known.
What about player entitlement/GM jerkitude? Or is that a wild card?
There sure are an awful lot of paladin threads on this subforum nowadays, aren't there?...
All the cool kids are doing it.
Ah, but doing something just because it's cool is dishonest, causing the paladin to Fall!There sure are an awful lot of paladin threads on this subforum nowadays, aren't there?...All the cool kids are doing it.
How is it dishonest if I admit it?

2 paladins in my game fell for killing my innocent, unarmed, mostly helpless rogue after she surrendered and was handcuffed... The only reason I can think of for them to kill my character was when she confiscated the alchemist's fire after one of them drank it. They were trying to enter the Blackguard prestige class, apparently.
she confiscated the alchemist's fire after one of them drank it.
Did she have a warrant?
SHE'S OUT OF HER JURISDICTIONTHEFT
SHE FALLS
Oh, wait, she's not a paladin, she's a--
...
ROGUE
SHE FALLS
You're so fall of it.
Muahahaha my evil plan is working *trips and falls*
Everyone knows rolling up a paladin is enough to make you fall.
Actually, since no one will stop feeding the trolls that come here as first time posters and start a thread about paladins and goblin babies, this is what we should do- post silly stuff. make it clear we know what he is doing and derail the endless & ridiculous debate about morality into sillyness...without getting our hands slapped for out & out calling the OP a troll. The boards have been infested by "pala-trolls" recently. Since some people can't resist feeding them, we need to change the diet to spun sugar instead of meat.
Who is with me? Let's get silly!

In this thread, yes.
Your paladin actually fell before that. Because there are no paladins, only anti-paladins.
Well and those broladins...those folks are just weird. Taking the divine bond thing a bit too far.
In a recent game I was DMing, I bull rushed a paladin into a wall with and elder earth elemental. He fell via death, does that count?
Saw a Paladin summon an Ice Devil in the middle of a crowd of townspeople. We referred to him as an ex-paladin for the rest of that adventure.
Hmm. Character idea: Paladin (or cleric, or inquisitor) that summons demons or other such creatures in an attempt to convert them to the side of light.

Dying is cowardice and emboldens the forces of darkness. Paladin falls.
