Balance issues
Who on earth designed the Paladin of Cuiraécen? Unless the table is incorrectly written, it seems that you get four or five abilities at 1st-level (nearly half of all the class abilities except bonus feats). This creates a huge problem for people cherry-picking the class. The multi-classing restriction is worthless if you consider that you're getting nearly half the class as a simple one-level prestige-class for CG clerics of Cuiraéecen.

Maybe it ist still a 3.0 version of the paladin...
May Khirdai always bless your sword and his lightning struck your enemies!

The one who initially designed the variant is me; now that I review it I feel I was mistaken in some of my choices, but there is one thing we have to keep in mind here: we cannot change everything not argued against in the polls.
Sure, my present self would disperse his abilities from level 1 up to level 3, but that's it. Cherry picking won't be nullified, just reduced, since anyone could supposedly take 4 levels as a paladin of Cuiraécen and still be better off than many other characters (skald, anyone?).
A better built might be:
lvl 1 Aura of Good, detect evil, smite evil 1/day
lvl 2 Divine Grace, lay on hands
lvl 3 Aura of Courage, divine health
Please refrain from such phrasing as: "Who on earth [...]?" I know it was mostly my mistake, but I find vexing how nobody seemed to care so far (and left my foolish self thinking everything was OK).

I would rather applaud your hard work than scald you for minor mistakes. I have been following this project for years without making much contributions and think you’ve all done a great job.
I think these sorts of things can and will happen and are not really problematic as we (as a community) are willing to take a pragmatic approach towards it…

Yup stole my thunder (he he he Stormlord...thunder...) I don't use the Variants..heck a paladin that can freely multiclass as a fighter is pretty scary in and of itself!!
Good Morning Peasant!!

For those who haven't gotten the knack of using the "search" feature yet,
Here is a list of threads that have some discussion on paladins (too see how things got where they are now). Sorry I didn't insert thread subjects but I was trying to do this quickly so people could access them without having to wait too long
