This one put the stupid in YASD.
1) He died from Int drain.
2) He had a ring of sustain abilities with him to prevent just that.
3) He didn't have to hang around in Tartarus, trying to figure out if
you can get into the building to the right at L7. (Can you?)
Somehow I must have missed that he got his Int pushed down from 10, and
when a second draining came he was history.
That said, Paladins are underrated. Playing a dwarf instead of an elf
gives you a lot of melee power if you drop the sabre as soon as a nice
mace or axe shows up. And a Paladin with a great mace of disruption is
fun in the hells and in the Abyss (where I was sent 5 or 6 times). He
cleared out the whole dungeon except the Tomb, plus the Hells, and was
just going to hit Pandemonium.
The Shining One is a bit underwhelming in the early and middle game, but
at least the thunderbolts and Daevas are nice. (Except when they turn
hostile because you get Hellfire thrown on you from nowhere in Gehenna -
probably a bug.)

magical energy.
