[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 3799165, member: 50987"] True, all true. I'm very interested in the paladins of 4E because of the alignment overhaul, because it will definitely affect my game. Religion is kind of a big deal for us... In my homebrew, the church of St. Cuthbert is the dominant religion of the realm, and the king (a high-level paladin) has instated a theocratic government. So long story short, everyone in the party...from the stately cleric and flashy sorcerer, to the unsavory rogue and the crude fighter, serves the church. They go on missions to fight evil, destroy demons, thwart the schemes of the Church of Vecna, and all that jazz in the name of their king (and by extension, in the name of St. Cuthbert.). This often puts them at odds with St. Cuthbert's dogma, but they are loyal to their king and are careful not to tarnish his good name. Cedric would fit right in, hanging out with Indrid and Everlind in pubs trying to pick up women and score some opium, while Clarion and Drexin rolled their eyes and prayed for their immortal souls. But in my world, St. Cuthbert is a bit too lawful to endorse such undisciplined and disorderly behavior in his formal representatives (clerics and paladins)...I'm afraid Cedric would end up taking levels of fighter until he behaved a little more orderly and civilized (more Lawful, in other words.) But I mean him no disrespect! His lack of paladin-ness is not tarnish; it is what makes him shine. There is nothing wrong with a fighter who serves the church, even one who serves with the utmost devotion. Too many people assume that a character needs to be either a cleric or a paladin to be a "faithful" character, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Cedric can game with us [I]anytime.[/I] :) [/QUOTE]
