    I'm pretty sure you're thinking of a previous edition (2e, to be precise unless I'm the one getting mixed up). Under the 3.5 rule set there'd be nothing preventing him from taking more Paladin levels any time he levels up, unless maybe for some reason he no longer meets the Paladin pre-reqs.

    Also, what reason do we have to believe Lien's spear is a Longspear instead of any other kind of spear?

    Oops, I stand corrected, sorry about that.

    I still think it's a rather unlikely possibility. If we wanted to stretch, I guess if we assume that Lien knows about O'Chul in detail, then we could conclude that he hasn't multiclassed out and/or that he in fact has 5 or more paladin levels (since Lien seems to think it's possible that he's acquired a mount) or at least close enough that Lien thinks it's possible that he acquired his 5th recently.

    This is a bit of a stretch, though.

    While that's correct for base classes, it's not correct when you add Prestige Classes into the mix. Certain of those - Hospitaler comes to mind - allow continuation as a Paladin.

    Yes, classes that specifically say a Paladin does not incur the normal penalty for multiclassing do not impose the normal penalty for multiclassing. Good catch but totally irrelevant to the discussion being had.

    Ok, since we've just hit 50 pages, I've created the new thread. Votes for various titles were more-or-less tied so I went with the punniest one.

    I'll be mostly without internet for a few days, will update e.g. Lien's and O-Chul's equipment as soon as I get back. Enjoy!
