[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 696970, member: 10397"] But why does a holy champion neccsarily have to value society over the individual? Yes with a good DM there are no problems but I think a lot of people avoid playing the paladin because in so many game worlds and campaigns, your put in the position of choosing between the aspects of your alignment but being required by your class to follow both. What about evil laws? and areas ruled by evil governments? Which aspect is more important..and are you going to punish a player if they follow one at the expense of the other? I think personaly Paladins being simply Good would be more iconic and simpler. It also makes it diffacult for someone who wants to play a paladin but doesnt want to be forced into the sterotypes ad into an alignment that in my opnion in this game is often...how to put it....badly interpreted? or always interpreted a certain limited way?But of course as you say, even if many express the same view, thats one of those things that always been a part of DnD, so they will most likely never change it.
