First the new chapter idea:

Guildwars: Arena
GWA would introduce a gigantic arena, grander than any before it. It attacts millions to its renown arena fights. But all is not as good as it seems. While blood of a fighter is on the arena sands is rare, there is more to the arena than white sands and the blood of monsters. The arena is also a focal point for slavery, poachery, and all manner of unspeakable acts. All of this taking place right below the arena itself. This underground place also houses the Blood Pits, an arena were the only rule is; to survive. Slaves are brought to the pits to be thrown to savage exotic animals. Fighters brawl it out till one is down on the groud, taking thier last breath.

I got this idea while looking at Laser light pit fighter class

In pve there would be 2 pathes to choose, the way of the right in the arena, or taking to the pits. The choice would matter because it determines what classes are avilble to you. The arena gives you the Palidin, while the pits give the Pit Fighter. The arean give you more pve like action, while the pits or more like pvp. In arean you would be pitted against mobs of monsters, and team events like ctf. Some dugeon like things too. In pits you fight against other players more often, and timed events like seeing how long you can survive against monsters. In both places you can place bets on your events to earn more renown, which is the currency of the arena/pits. The more renown you the more events are avaible, and the more you can gain. In both places you use renown to buy skills, armor, and weapons. In the arena you can use renown to hire help for your events. In the pits you can use your renown to hire someone to sabatoge the opposition.

The palidin im working on right now

Palidin
The palidin is pretty much what is sounds like, a warrior with some minor heals and stuff. These guys are like uber tanks if you ask me while the warriors or more offensive and i think that the palidin will have no place in pvp while the warriors are still a big part of it. But its still different just keep reading

Paladin is overpowered. Warriors as tanks become useless.

Steel grants you a bonus against air magic?!

"Lemme stand in this here METAL SUIT and dance in the thunderstorm, because METAL doesn't conduct electricty!"

And thats the story of how Trebes got turned into fried chicken.

Hey, I wrote a GW: Arena already!
get your own name! (just kidding of course)
But in case you do miss the this Thread , there are several nice expansion idea there too...

also you need more "Features" to sell your new expansion.. else would still be much the same.

For your Paladin, not bad. I rejected the idea of Paladin before, but now I embrace it. But take out that swordsmanship (maybe replace with Mace) and it still look way too much like a W/Mo. Not enought "Nitch"

Here are some links to the more recent "Paladin-like" ideas.
