Retribution Paladins are an order or type of paladin. Most paladins are a terrific aid in the war — skilled in combat, riding, and even doing a bit of healing here and there — according to Brann Bronzebeard, "Except those damn "Retribution Paladins" — most of 'em can't heal worth a damn. Bah.". Retribution Paladins are focused on damage output, two-handed weapons, holy damage, and damage avoidance rather than healing.
