I would say it is a typical beginner character. Good choice.

Thanks for the MHO

The Paladin class you described seems manageable for players new to pen and paper RPGs, especially if they're 12 and up. While there are quite a few abilities to keep track of, the mechanics are straightforward. It balances physical combat with divine magic, providing variety without overwhelming complexity. To ease newcomers into gameplay, consider providing a simple guide or cheat sheet summarizing abilities and possibly walking through a practice session. 🎲📜

IN the final release version of the game, I intend there to be a deck of cards for each character class to help keep track of the "once per mission" spells.
