Yes it did, but in retrospect, the idea behind honorable combat is lost if *anyone* or *anything* is allowed to participate in the combat except the paladin and their chosen target. I have since rewritten the ability to exclude anyone except creatures that are immune to mind-influencing effects...

Shirt Guy John. I *know* the alternate paladin and blackguard do not match up yet. Remember my post to that effect...? That said, in response to your Muulg interview, if ever I wavered (even a little bit) on the point that paladins should have an Intelligence prerequisite, my determination to...

Alternate Version 1.0. Changed the Leadership prerequisite to Improved Trip. Increased the number of times a paladin can smite evil per day. Added Leadership to the prestige class abilities (with stacking potential). * INSERT Page 86 of the DUNGEON MASTER's Guide, between the loremaster and...

And yet it's strange how I keep getting asked for the PDF of this prestige class via Email. :) That said, I have been playing with an alternate version of the quintessential paladin, ramped up somewhat in mechanical power level. Keep in mind I would be making similar changes to the blackguard...

Lily Inverse. I have read the Leadership feat... thoroughly. Nothing there about any 2nd edition fighter traits, no matter what you think was "intended". I swear, 3rd edition role-playing is much better served by disregarding 2nd edition material wholesale. As for the delay times involved in...

Lily Inverse. Something tells me that a 13th level character, with a supposed disposal hoard of 35,000 gold for gear, will have no problems financially providing for 28 people. Keep in mind as well Lily that these people do not gradually "cling" to the paladin like moss as he travels. They are...

Al. A paladin with an Intelligence of 13, a Charisma of 1, a Strength of 3, and a Wisdom of 3 *could* qualify to be a paladin. Heck, such a paladin could exist under the existing Player's Handbook system right now. That is the beauty of 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons. There are no...

Version 1.2. Added the ability Honorable Combat to the prestige class. * INSERT Page 86 of the DUNGEON MASTER's Guide, between the loremaster and the shadowdancer. Paladin Every description in the Player's Handbook between pages 41 and 44 holds sway, except where indicated below. No one...

Work a 60 hour week and the whole message board landscape changes. Okay folks, I'm haven't neglected this thread... I've been catching up on sleep. Let's see if I can dispel some of these falsities with a single post. ----- Al. You continue to labor under the misconception that I have stated...

Sorry for being negligent folks. My IP address was on the blink for 2 days. Let me post a quick couple of things. ----- apsuman. The lay on hands ability does not heal 2 Hit Points per level, but rather your Charisma bonus per level. A significant difference to be sure. ----- stranger. You...

My IP address has been on the blink for the past 2 days. Now that I'm all caught up on the recent posts, methinks it's time for an "accounting". And by that I mean a restating of all my rule changes (just to make them crystal clear for anybody interested in reading along). Some ideas and values...

Wow! Please don't be insulted by this question apsuman, but did you just make that ability up? I'm genuinely impressed by your level of detail. I would only change the name to "Honorable Combat" and give it more of a conceptual paladin *feel*.

You got it. I couldn't have said it better myself. Qualifying to become a paladin is not *meant* to be easy. In fact, I have deliberately made it difficult. Only well rounded men and woman should embrace this calling. I would say Strength, Charisma, and Wisdom are the foremost priorities here...

Thoroughly. Let me clear this up. My Carrying Capacity rules have *nothing* to do with the Player's Handbook. To create a logical Carrying Capacity system I have disregarded the Carrying Capacity rules from the Player's Handbook wholesale. Your solution for Carrying Capacity is exactly as you...

The hunter of the dead, the knight of the chalice, and the templar are all good prestige classes. They are combat *specialists* with chosen enemies, and no mistake. They smite and slay like it's nobody's business. All in the name of whichever god has blessed them with divine might. Not a one of...

And so it begins. The min/max power gaming of not just core classes, but prestige classes too! You can hear the lament now... "I won't play the paladin prestige class because it isn't powerful enough. Not when I could be a DRAGON DISCIPLE or a GEOMANCER!" This is a sad state of role-playing...

Version 1.1. Added Concentration to the prestige class requirements. Corrected the wording for Smite Evil. * INSERT Page 86 of the DUNGEON MASTER's Guide, between the loremaster and the shadowdancer. Paladin Every description in the Player's Handbook between pages 41 and 44 holds sway...

Until your next snag. Let's say I'm a 180 pound human with 18 Strength. I can lift 180 pounds. Now let's say I am 210 pound human with 18 Strength. I can't even lift my own body weight? Not so good. If your are still aiming for logic Upper_Krust, it just flew out the window. I believe the...

Let's say I am playing a fighter for 5 levels, at which point I have 42 Hit Points. During this level, my character dies but comes back as a role-playable ghost (using the template), do I immediately reroll all my Hit Points (5 levels worth) using a d12? Or do I simply use a d12 from now on, if...

Al. You are nitpicking the word foolish now. Foolish, stupid, idiotic, dim, dull. They all mean the same thing to me. A man or woman of low intellect would not lend itself to the respect that paladins are supposed to command. As for Leadership, the feat has nothing to do with Intelligence. The...
