Elementally, I think any good amount of thought can reason out how each particular energy (or basically 2), can fall under each elemental category. Its like its shares the domains for 2 energies. Air = Lightning and Fire (fire cant exist without air sustenance and requires it?) Water= Acid and...

Hmm, Then how can cold properly represent water. Water is fluid and mobile and everchanging while cold ... well doesnt that create a kind of static product.

Rounser: (clasp) - I totally agree with the fact that the Paladin was made with such clarity of purpose by the forces of good. Somehow, I dont really see the unification of evil creating a class of warriors that completely extol the sins of evil against good. (in general) .. i hope i'm making...

What would qualify a class or PrC as a true opposite for another anyways? Would a PrC melee be a natural 'opposite' for 'PrC caster classes or ranged PrCs? By Alignments, it seems easier; Assasin = evil, Paladin = Good. Sometimes there are by Law ? Chaos Symmetry for ELements like the 4 Ele...

Very interesting, but i do find more agreement to Elf Wicthes statements. Previous games I've been in or rather parties did not support a paladin styled character very well. The party was rather .... selfish and was antagonistic. More often than not. the paladin had to watch his 'trusted...

I have seen the movie from Matt Stone and Trey Parker. But there is a lot of things I do not understand. A lot of americanisms I suspect that are beyond my own grasp. But I found parts of it to be funny. --- I did find the two dolls going at it, rather amusing; rather taunting of censorship...

My bad, apologies. I don't know about Erics Grandma.

I love variant paladin rules, as do my players. Dragon magazine had offered differring alignments for them before and most of them were happy to take them over the one in the PHB. Choices give that illusions of freedom :D Did i say illusions? I meant variety. What was it again? Crusader or...

I guess I'm feeling uncertain that the concepts of Yin and Yang are being used to designate varying degrees of good truimphing over evil whether by and between overt force and subtle restraint. I feel it encompasses more. Both Yin and Yang radiate across the black, white and grey areas of...

I comprehend the analogy. But I find it a little restrictivei n the roles of what Yang and Yin are to each other. (I will ponder on the issue more to formulate an answer).

I've been lurking for several months before I found the verve to post in these forums. What you've stated above as reasons: Isnt that the case with most of the threads in the forums? :D

(smiles) -- I agree with Acid I'm more than glad to be able to make the Paladin class a prestige in my games allowing them to earn what a Paladin is rather than just ... be. I dislike the Alignments as set by the Core books but most of the players are used to it and I'm loathe to try and...

I assume you had to alter a lot of the base classes to better reflect the Vietnam histories and culture :D ? There are fantastic backdrops in Viernam as well and the kind of border wars they often had with their neighbours make for fascinating events to explore.

"Originally Posted by Torm And 4. Even if people understand alignment, some people just flat CAN'T play Paladins - something I don't think you can say as easily about other classes." Can't I say that for Druids class since they are restricted to Neutral alignments? Or is it more inclined for...

Intrigued: Was reading thoughtbubbles post and it occurs to me that if no real moral challenge is presented by action, inaction, intended or otherwise in a simple clean good vs evil all around fun hack game ... the Paladin suffers little to no penalty or drawbacks. Well thats an extreme case...

ForceUser: I'd imagine you havent had pleyers with a obvious Asian slant to their p[laying style in you gaming groups before (lol) - I was thinking that all these worlds from DnD are quite Westernise (paladins and druids and bards) and are popularly played here in Asia. But The oreintal...

I realize that my players would like the Paladin class play them as they see how the class is represented in western archtypes. we play here in Asia and I doubt we have the smae in-depth treatment or background cultural understanding of a 'paladin' behavious. Much of that would be traslateble...

Oddly enough, the Druid discussions are more involved in my games here :D Paladins are second clerics, rangers and bards last in line in that order.

. Oh wow! Yeah more people from around the world in nano! I'm,Malaysian and I'm pariticpating in NanoWriMo this year. I'm also a little behind at about 9800, although thats because I'd had to deal with a death of a family friends recently. Some of my Nano writing buddies have already finished...

New to this forum, forgiveness if I crossed any lines. Isnt the Paladin thing rather subjective? If we're talking about faith and spirituality in regards to the actions a paladin takes as a representative of that concept, are they the champions of that virtue (concept)? How does that differ...
