Mo matter which version you read, you are not going to find a signifigant difference. Definantly not one that would change the entire meaning of the New Testament, which is pretty much summed up in John 3:16.
Commonly Blackguards tend to fill that role more often than not. I do find it amusing that two relatively equal yet opposite classes are not treated very equally. Paladins as a base class. Blackguards as a prestige class... Too bad they can't reconcile that. Either by making Blackguards a base class or Paladins into a prestige class.
I think having paladins as a prestige class makes PERFECT sense! After all, a true warrior for a goodly god would have a blend of priest and fighter skills. Wouldn't it be nice to have the following req for paladin:
Lawful Good
+6 BAB
Ability to cast level two divine spells
+5 Persuade
+5 Heal
Cleave
It sure would even the playing field for paladins and anti-paladins. In a certain sense, it would be interesting to have only five base classes (Fighter, Thief, Wizard, Sorcerer, Cleric) and prestige classes specific to each. Of course, that would put D&D more on par with Diablo, which would be a bit of a downer, but then again such a revamp would sure add more to the roleplaying as each character would have to really prove themselves in their class before being able to be so prestigous to take a specialized class.
