Most certainally a possibility especially given the lore. However given the information we have that the dread knight is to be different from the shadow knight it is likely that they aren't. Also apparantly the Vanguard Paladin is supposed to be different from our sterotypical paladin as well. It has been said that paladin's will have limited healing in Vanguard. This is somewhat different from the paladins where healing is their secondary purpose. While Paladin's might have some heals it doesn't seem like they will have heals like the paladins of "EverQuest" did. From the information we have it is likely that the paladin will be supportive with beneficial spells but most of those spells will be more buff oriented than heal oriented this is also probabally partially a product of the combat system of Vanguard that wants to limit the spam healing.
