Equipment (CPaH)

__TOC__
Paladins take their equipment seriously, and seek to own the best that money can buy. Not only does their equipment reflect the honor of their station; for some it symbolizes their principles.
* The shield represents the paladin's vow to uphold his ethos.
* The sword represents the two constituencies he's sworn to defend—one edge of the sword represents the privileged class, the other the common people.
* Armor represents loyalty to the state. Just as his armor protects his body, so must he protect his monarch.
* The helmet represents loyalty to the religion. Just as his helmet protects his head, so must he protect his church.
* Clothing, well-crafted and immaculately clean, represents purity of spirit.
