[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4100348, member: 21938"] One option is that we could come up with a Champion variant for you to play: [url]http://tinyurl.com/268y8u[/url] However, going from straight SRD Paladin: Paladin of Beauty Claiming inspiration from Immortals such as Lady Moon Jasmine (dreams), Yash-Yabha (daydreams and dawn light), Banarjahab (construction), Tyannah (romantic love) and various other Immortals connected with the Nine Arts of civilisation, creative processes or physical attraction, the Paladin of Beauty seeks to defend all that makes the soul swell with delight by its mere existence. To create a thing of beauty, or to care for things that are beautiful, shows how mortals can aspire to the creative ability of the Immortals. To destroy such things wantonly is a sin against all that is right and good, it is to deny the Divine and it is an act associated with the evil spirits of the Underwater Darkness World. The Paladin of Beauty realises that sometimes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that true beauty sometimes comes from within (and other cliches). They will not hold it against a person for having a mis-shapen appearance if that person has a good soul. Whilst a slug or a plain of volcanic ash may not be lovely to look at, there is a still a savage or alien beauty to them, and they are the works of the Immortals. A Paladin of Beauty may not be quite so magnanimous. Some may have very personal definitions of what is beautiful, and may seek to impose those views on others rather than simply defend them. Add Perform to class skills (beauty is art, art is beauty etc.). The class already has Craft and Profession which could also be used for various 1st level: Replace Aura of Good with Aura of Style. A Paladin of Beauty always remains well-groomed; even if dropped into a dung heap he will emerge clean and smelling fresh. (Su) Replace Smite Evil with Smite Defiler. As Smite Good, but it works against individuals whom them Paladin of Beauty knows to have willfully caused malicious damage to a person or item. This would exclude, for example, a construction worker demolishing a house as part of his job, but would include somebody who smashed a sculpture for no reason. Sense Defiler. As the Detect Evil, except that 'defiler' is defined as somebody who has committed an act of vandalism or wanton destruction in the past 24 hours Looking at the other paladin abilities, they probably don't need much modification, based on the idea that disease, undead and injury are all considered to be against the natural order and therefore things of ugliness. Maybe the Aura of Courage ought to be modified, but perhaps not. The paladin's un-natural beauty is inspiring to those around him. [/QUOTE]
