Paladins, like clerics, were granted their divine powers, known as prayers, through the strength of faith, though the principle object of their devotion was their cause and not their god. With additional training, paladins could learn to attack more quickly, again much like fighters.

What’s a Warlock weakness?
Warlocks don’t have a special weakness but they just have limited powers. So if you make them run out of them, they can’t fight you anymore. Vampires are always strong, except for when they walk into the sunlight of course. Werewolfs can control their transformation when they’re trained.

Can a cleric have divine power without it being?
You may not have chosen a god but the god choose you. Your player may think he got his power by being struck by lightning, but maybe it is how the god chooses his followers.

It might be that this Cleric gets their powers from a deity of nature, who chose to give them their power, even though the Cleric doesn’t follow them.

Where does the power of a Paladin come from?
Although many paladins are devoted to gods of good, a paladin’s power comes as much from a commitment to justice itself as it does from a god. So, it seems that conviction, expressed formally by oath, is enough to make a paladin.
