Interesting. I'm not sure I'd fancy playing a paladin in such a dark setting - must be difficult to decide on the "good" response when a badly-armed mob of peasants is seeking to lynch someone accused of witchcraft.

And all of the characters seem like they could fall foul of the "spell-caster" prohibition, let alone the "foreigner" one, and end up on the wrong side of the mob themselves. Seems like it poses significant additional challenges for the DM and the players, but could provide an awesome campaign if you can pull it off.

we are "walking the fence" on being exalted. The Paladin monk has a VOW of poverty...but he does not get 1/5 of what the usual VoP. Paladins are very rare, BUT are excepted by all good temples. Problem is good temples are few and far between. Yes it is a lot of fun, trying to avoid killing guards who are firing at you as you "slay the beast", the guards often see witches (us) and beasts as one in the same....very Hansel and Gretel like (the new one)
