The alternate alignment Paladins, originally printed in Unearthed Arcana 3.5, have been popular, but only the classic "Paladin of Honor" received an update for 3.75. That new Paladin of Honor got some abilities from the Paladin of Freedom, so an update will be necessary for the other three.
Note that all class features written here are only those that deviate from the Paladin of Honor printed in the Pathfinder Player's Handbook.
Paladin of Freedom
CHAOTIC GOOD
3-Aura of Resolve: The Paladin of Freedom gains this ability at level 3 instead of level 8.
