Paladin

Paladins are much like Knights, except for one key difference - they have white magic. Though their power in this tends to be low, it works well for certain tight situations. Some jobs also have the "Cover" ability, which makes the paladin jump in front of a character (sometimes with low HP, sometimes not) and take physical damage for them. The polar opposite to the Dark Knight, the Paladin acts as a protector of allies, rather than a destroyer of enemies. They gravitate towards working in groups, whereas the Dark Knight tends to work alone. They wear white clothing and can cast low-level white magic.
