Last thread made me wonder: what games have you people played that Hero and Paladin are separate classes? And in that case, what are the differences?
While Mary Sketler doesn't have the Hero class for example, the Fighter class is treated as one (Hamelm claims she is a Hero now when she joins and switches to Fighter) being part of the available physical jobs (same as Paladin, in this game you can switch between the available ones). Paladin is more of a tanky class to taunt but has poor speed, while Fighter is more offense-oriented and faster.
