Bingo. We have a winner. First strike is tracked for everyone, not just paladins. Why? Not only for consent reasons should there be an assist, but so the system can tell if the paladin attacked first. If someone casts a hold on a paladin, they are flagged with first strike, which allows the paladin to retaliate without a penalty. Now the reverse is also true -- if the paladin casts a hold first, they just initiated the conflict via a first strike.
