[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 2360723, member: 5143"] I actually do have another problem with the Paladin, that is his cynism. In a mod, by Monte Cook, there is a Paladin who has almost lost his powers because he doesn't believe that his god will lead him to victory and since he believes he is doomed, he spends most of his time sitting around in a tavern, drinking. He has heard there is evil around, and he makes some basic inquiries, but he knows that he's just going to die one day eventually, so why try too hard to find his death. His god believes this is a lack of trust in him, so has almost removed his powers. Basically, I see a Paladin needs to have faith that his god will bring him through anything. There was a good D&D novel about this. Just imagine how you would feel if you went through life knowing that you were a chosen of a god, and that the god followed you around wherever you went, answering your call for power whenever you asked for it. You just need to put your hands on people and your god heals them. A few choice words and your sword is filled with the righteous fury of a GOD. You feel his calming influence in your mind at all times. He protects you from spells and diseases. Now, if you could walk around 24 hours a day with these powers at your disposal and knowing that your god watches your every move and if you do the wrong thing, you may lose them forever. Would you doubt your god? Would you think even for a second he'd let you fall? You are an example for others, they look up to you, would you let them down? This is what being a Paladin is about.
