The paladin is flying via overland flight and is hit by a dispel magic. Does he fall? And will he require an atonement when he hits ground?

Youre a bad DM for even putting the Paladin in this situation. The paladin should not be forced to fall because of something an NPC does. The Paladin should be allowed free unfettered flight as long as he doesnt dispel himself.

It depends on how high he is when the dispel magic hits.
Since overland flight acts as fly, he'll end up floating downward at a rate of 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If that's enough to get him to the ground, he lands safely.
If that's not enough to get to the ground, though, the Paladin will indeed fall and take the appropriate repercussions.
Whether or not he requires an atonement depends on if he has taken an Oath Against Touching the Ground.
What about it someone makes a successful trip attack against the Paladin?

I think it's pretty clear that a Paladin that chooses to jump off a 5 foot ledge, rather than climbing down, will fall, however.

A paladin can fall for any action.

*Rolls a nat 1 on getting joke*
Well, depends on the hight. He doesn't fall to start with. As the Overland Flight spell functions like a fly spell which gives you a safe decent speed of 60ft/1d6 rounds if the spell is dispelled. After that 60/1d6 rounds of decent, the Paladin falls... I'd say that it's more likely that the Paladin will need some healing spells than an atonement spell.
I knew that celibacy was mandatory, as you're not allowed to fall... in love and that you better put all your skill ranks into Ride as you really don't want to fall... of your horse and that you better drink a lot of coffe so that you don't fall.... asleep. But I never realised that getting your flying dispelled at high altitude was against the Paladin code.
EDIT: Is falling as a Paladin a free action? When I read all these Paladin falling threads, it seems more like a *standard* action.
Is it an archetyped a paladin?
Empyreal Knight can fly on his own... so he spent the extra for.... fall protection..

This is racist against standard races. Lots of monster races have wings and won't fall regardless of a Dispel.

I think we all know what a Paladin's favorite season is.
Well if said paladin was a strix it would change things immensely.
Now if it a strix Empyreal Knight, its a paladin that is playong with a Dick GM :p
What if the paladin has an Oath against Gravity? Does he still fall?
No - the paladin is just flying downward at a speed outside of his control.
/unflips the table
/flips table
/Holds funeral for poor defenseless table...
You horrible people!!!
That is definetely fall worthy lol

My Paladin just took the Oath against Furniture-Slaying, and he doesn't care if he falls.
Little do you know, that table was actually an awaked paladin table
Of course - is there really much difference between flying and falling... with style! (Buzz Lightyear 2016!)
This thread is wonderful.
By the same token, can an Antipaladin save himself from drowning or would he have to ascend?
So, here's the real question: If I kick the table over, which one of us falls?

Not allowed to fall in love doesn't prevent intimacy, just affection. Pally has to pay to play, Calistra's gotta get her temples funded somehow.
Davor wrote: So, here's the real question: If I kick the table over, which one of us falls? Unfortunately, the GM engineered a situation such that, when you kick the table, it went into an Reverse Gravity area.
If you paralyzed him, he would likely fall.
Davor wrote: So, here's the real question: If I kick the table over, which one of us falls? They probably merited it for standing on the table anyway.
Bard-Sader wrote: What if the paladin has an Oath against Gravity? Does he still fall? Yes. He's just really really unhappy about it.
If I get the paladin really really drunk is he more likely to fall?
Also how heavy is the paladin?
What is his/her strength score?
How much encumberance is he/she currently caring?
Did he or she willingly chose to fall?
KenderKin wrote:

What is that supposed to mean? I've heard of "The path is narrow" but persons of size are no more likely to fall than than thin people.
Not enough information. Can you get your DM to post his side in the thread?
I think we may have, through Paladin proxies, discovered the first ever way of making Wizards fall.
Though that begs a question - if a Wizard falls, does Atonement even work on him?

What a out a paladin who fails a save vs sleep or deep slumber? Do they lose their powers for falling asleep?
Imbicatus wrote: The paladin is flying via overland flight and is hit by a dispel magic. Does he fall? And will he require an atonement when he hits ground? Yes, but if he was to sing the note "La" in response to his fall, he could potentially Atone and be grounded at the same time.

I heard from one paladin that not all have an oath of celibacy and in some cases the exact opposite is decreed by their respective gods. This is why paladins never fall for any of their paramours. This is also why there are so many paladins who are immune to disease.

Huh. I guess Paladins of Arshea are really screwed then.

They can always fall on their own swords.
Meh, this joke Falls flat on me.

My last paladin had pretty good Str & Dex scores, so he was A toned Paladin

** spoiler omitted **
They can always fall on their own swords. I'd struggle to call that release unless you've managed to be a Paladin of Zon-Kuthon.
I once asked a paladin to buy me a jar of elbow grease. He went to the store and came back angry. He totally fell for it.
