New to red, a few questions.

[Erydan Ouragan]

I'm not sure if i should post that in the Starting Zone forums, but anyways here it goes.

I started a dwarf paladin on red tonight. Completely new to EQ pvp and paladin as well.

1: I know that you can't fear or charm players in pvp, but what about root/stun/mez/snare? Does these spell land consistently against players with "normal" MR gear/buffs?

2: What is the role of the paladin in PvP? Stand back and heal or actually melee?

3: How hard is it to obtain "standard" gear set? For example: Sword of the Morning, Ghoulbane, Rod of Lamentation, deepwater bracers, how much would that cost? Obviously resist gear costs more, i'm not looking for BiS gear, just a rough estimate for middle-of-the-way stuff.

4: And last, what should i know or expect as a pally on red?

Thanks
