In all fairness, if he were a DnD cleric, he wouldn't be able to use blood-spilling weapons like swords or knives. Or guns. Right? Though he is themed with the Magistar which is blunt, trying to pull in a precise version of a thing from a very specific very differnt system is a poor choice on a number of levels. (And leads to some very poor conclusions like trying to equal Oberon's Smite to the DnD Smite Evil/Good because they share the same name)

But if I had to do something silly like decide what DnD class Warframes are I would probably not call Oberon a "Paladin" because he's a little too much of a caster and at best moderately sturdy as opposed to the aura cloaked anti evil predominantly melee tank and frequently party leader that is a paladin. He also is a lot less snotty. Maybe druid would fit (if only he could shape shift, though. . . ).

Again, to be fair, he is like a DnD paladin in that he's stuck between several specialized classes and only competes with exceptional usage. Or if you look at the wider usage of the concept of a paladin its not that big a leap.
