Would you allow this paladin in your game? (new fiction added 11/11/08)

[Berandor]

I just stumbled upon this thread. But I would be delighted to have such a paladin in my game. It's a great character!

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

I would readily allow him (barring of course special circumstances like setting-specific costraints or having a 12 years old player at the table).

What he said.

 

[sfedi]

I voted no.
But only because of two things:
-he's not an example of high ideals
-he has an attitude that doesn't give hope to other people

The last point is redeemable if his deeds outdo by far his words.

 

[Berandor]

Just in case nobody has answered it yet:

Reminds me... Are there drinking rules in D&D? If they're based on Fortitude saves, drinking a paladin under the table would be almost impossible, what with his good Fortitude save, likely high Con and divine grace Cha bonus to saves.

EN Publishing has the great "Tournaments, Fairs & Taverns" that contain drinking rules and tie them to Constitution. So, Paladins can get drunk normally

 

[Berandor]

Sune (CG, an exception).

See? A Paladin of Sune, the Goddess of beauty, love and passion? Seems to be possible, after all.

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

See? A Paladin of Sune, the Goddess of beauty, love and passion? Seems to be possible, after all.

Whose paladins espouse the ideals of [chaste] courtly love?

Who serve as stalwart defenders of beautiful places and artifacts?

Yeah, I'm not sure they get much play.

I guess its true; it's hard to keep a good man down...

After all, how can you dislike a paladin who enchants his teeth in preparation for meeting a succubus? Of course, I might be a teensy-weensy bit biased

 

[Berandor]

Would you allow a cowardly Barbarian?

Yes.

 

[iwatt]

I voted yes. I have no problem with his drinking and wenching. as long as the code doesn't say:

"You shal not drink and you shall not wench."

The only caveat I have is that Cedric seems way to fatallistic to inspire others. his " doesn't matter what I do" spiel is downright unheroic ;D .
