[QUOTE="Romnipotent, post: 1955814, member: 23770"] People keep jumping to a lack of faith, not maintaining a code, and many other things. I would love this level of character description and flavour in my games. Not many deities have abstinence, celebacy, and such as domains and most expect their Paladin to die in a cause or have kids. The main arguement people have with Cedric is, as stated, a [B]subjective[/B] standpoint on the actions and limited knowledge we have of him and his surroundings. WE have a glimpse of his downtime, just like Magnus does, and we throw a spanner into the idea that he isn't honourable, faithful, brave, et cetera ad nauseum. If a paladin went to church and prayed for the 5 weeks of downtime it would be a simple passover, nothing exactly exciting there. A Fighter may very well act without restraint and be able to go to a brothel, but in an objective aspect so can the Paladin. Strip away the ideas that drikning is bad, swearing if soul, and prositution is wrong; and you end up with someone supporting the local community who has more respect for the girls than many other clients. I can't think of anything better for a Paladin to do in his downtime but to spread some legs and the word. The ladies of Catherines establishment respect or at least know Cedric, hes a kind person all up. They know who he serves and that means the girls see signs that they can trust a man of Torm, St Cuthbert or whoever. In fact Cedric probably has more effect spiritually on the girls than a ranting new age ideals evangelist with some bent on a probably time old and essential service. Just a little bit of information, many societies we base our games off had houses of burlesque, no matter how monogomous the society, there would be a farm house or abandoned keep/cathedral somewhere locals and officials would go to enjoy an orgy, of cheese fondue and grapes. More often than not the ideals many western modern societies hold for sexual trades were not and not expected to be imposed on older societies. I cant drag realworld religion into this but thats what it is, realworld religions are the main progenitors against prostitution. It is, and often has been, the cleanest way to get casual relations, something only a few species do. On a game mechanics side there are many classes in the BoEF from Valar press that are sexual based prestige classes, some even heal. If you haven't read it because its "smut" or the like then I can understand why you dont like Cedric. (not having a go at anyone, just saying there could be a corellation) [/QUOTE]
