[QUOTE="Rashak Mani, post: 53087, member: 642"] Its one thing to disobey the Paladin code and quite another to become a Black Guard ! Many Paladins stray... but very few should become corrupt. Why would a paladin fall ? Major reason would be WOMEN... women can make any mans life Hell... litteraly... nothing like sex to start distorting those celebacy vows. Another could be the DEATH of family or friends... after devoting your life to saving others your god just lets some pesky orcs wipe out your beloved family... wow you feel betrayed and angry. Tyr or Heirnous could have saved them surely... POWER. A 10th lvl Paladin can become a little arrogant and power hungry. More power in a distorted mind is more chances of fighting evil.. but hey what is evil now ? Evil are those guys trying to stop you from becoming more powerful ? Kill them... SURVIVAL... so you confront the Pit Fiend and suddenly the whole Hells Angel Club shows up... your certainly going to be killed... as you brace yourself for death... they make you an offer for life... do you accept ? Many a Paladin didnt like the dying for the cause thing... :) FRUSTRATION... so after 20 years bashing away "evil" nothing seems to change... so why not join the other side ? They did make a nice offer.... Fire away some more... the Fallen Paladin can make a very good story... they certainly shouldnt have silly story like the FR one.... [/QUOTE]
