Why do Paladins have a subjugation skill?

[Keff]

I have played a paladin since the game came out on both blue and PVP servers and I still have no idea why we have this skill. Can anyone give me a clue?

All spellcasters have all four spell skills.  I'm still wondering how my Warlock is expected to increase her ministration skill! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

It might have been used for some crusader spells, before you earned the paladin class.

Does all the other fighter classes have this skill?

<p>What I always assumed is that it's there for in case the Paladin betrays to Shadowknight.  Was probably easier to give all Crusaders the skill then to have it be SK only and then figure out a way to suddenly give a former paladin the skill when he betrays.</p><p>Again, just my assumption/guess.</p>
