That's what I hate about fantasy, everyone is so cliche and generic about something that is called "fantasy" and then if your ideas don't fit the cliche, they are incorrect, even though we are still talking about fantasy.
My paladin was based on mid to late 1400s, when platemail was only becoming standardized, previously, most wore chain, at best.
Realistically, it doesn't matter what someone wears, you fight for the church and the virtues it represents, and you're a paladin. You could be wearing leather, and wielding a club, it doesn't matter. I created the guy on the basis that he would be a paladin, can't you just accept that?
