Additional Paladins from UA

[Bront]

I'd like to propose that we allow the 3 Paladin variants in UA. Paladin of Freedom, Paladin of Slaughter, and Paladin of Tyrany.

The basic upshot is that they are CG, CE, and LE, get slightly different auras, for the evil ones, they get smite good, rebuke undead, cause disease, and deadly touch (inflict instead of heal with lay).

There is one or two class skill swaps, as well as a few spell changes, but nothing major.

Just a thought.

Do we have gods that cover each of those portfolios? While a paladin (of whatever type) doesn't have to follow a god, most do and are driven to such religious furor by their deity's beliefs.

The new philosophy in limbo, the new tyrant demigod in limbo, and Disnomia all might support PoT. PoF fits for Azwan but is the wrong alignment, so it wouldn't work. PoS is tougher, since we don't have any of those stupid boring Erythnul-type gods. I could easily whip the PoS into shape to become a Paladin of Seduction for Amphousa and perhaps Urdiga. Also, we could add in a Paladin for Neutral Good (Paladin of Benevolence?) and Neutral Evil (Paladin of Corruption ).

PoS has one, Taurusk, CE god of war and bloodshed.

Pof, Grendath, CG god of luck, heroism in battle, freedom, and exploration.

PoT, the potential tyrany god, or one of the aspects of your couruption goddess.

And any of the more neutral gods, Hyrag might bless a normal Paladin and a PoF.

Oops, I forgot Taurusk--guess we *do* have a stupid boring Erythnul type god. At least we don't have a Nerull

 

[Bront]

Taurusk has some flavor at least.

That's true. Erythnul is basically nothing more than "Oooo, I randomly kill things because I like blood and gore!"

Do we really need these? I'm not voting no at this point, but the CE one especially seems pretty silly.

Code of Conduct

A paladin of slaughter must be of chaotic evil alignment and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits a good act. Additionally, a paladin of slaughter's code requires that she disrespect all authority figures who have not proven their physical superiority to her, refuse help to those in need, and sow destruction and death at all opportunities.

This is the core of a whole character class? What's the point?

If you have some great character concept you want to play, please feel free to explain it. That would help me understand what these classes would contribute to EN World.

I agree with you that the CE one is silly--that's one reason I proposed a far-cooler CE paladin

The Paladin of Freedom and Tyrany are much more interesting, I just brought them togeather as a whole.

The evil ones are good baddies.
