Hi!
(first: sorry for my bad english... i'm German)

I think the Subject is clear, so you don't have to read further.

For those who think:
"Why would anyone search for something like this???"
Here would be my answer:
I want to create a character similar to one in a fantasybook.

I really don't know why it has to be a female Paladin myself (cause actually I hate Paladins for shure, i'm more into Necromancer's) but...
who cares.

Okay... I think that's it...
sorry for the bad english again...

And THANKS

The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon is the only one that comes to mind. It was originally sold seperately as a trilogy being made up of Sheepfarmer's Daughter, Divided Allegiance and Oath of Gold.

mhm. The Deed of Paksenarrion is pretty good.

I know this thread is a little old, but how Joan of Arc? She'd be an interesting character to play....

Actually I just thought of another one. In David Weber's Oath of Swords series there is at least one female paladin - I think she first appears in book 2 as a supporting character before becoming one of the main characters in book 3.

Definitely not as good as the Deed of Paksenarrion though.

Female paladins aren't so common in fantasy, mainly because there weren't any female knights (other than Joan d'Arc, of course) in medieval Europe, and the chivalrous knight is the model for the paladin. I have the feeling that I recently read something with a female paladin, but I can't for the life of me think what. If I think of it I'll come back and tell you.
