[QUOTE="Sylevus, post: 1951512, member: 13857"] Absolutely not, with one caveat. Read the first page description of a paladin. The context is not merely doing good deeds, you also have to uphold a certain code of conduct. Your character description violates that on several levels. I.e. healing a prostitute would not violate it, but sleeping with her after would. The caveat is rule 0. If the DM likes it and buys into it, then you are gold. But I would not bring this concept to a table and surprise a DM with it either. The powers and abilities a paladin has are in exchange for his upholding his code and living the proper example. Your character violates on several levels, most importantly in how he conducts himself in conversing with others. Now, that said... if I were your DM and you came to me with this concept.. I would encourage you to build the character as a warrior/cleric, and failed member of the order. You get to behave as you do, provide services, yet not expect the powers of a paladin... which you would lose in short order anyhow for that behavior. You can still do the noble thing anyhow, griping, complaining and bitching all the way, you just don't get the divine protection provided to those who do live the example.... [/QUOTE]
