[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7497980, member: 22779"] Why not? Paladins aren't "knights in shining armor" anymore. Never really were, but, that's how a lot of people viewed them. So, why couldn't Luke Skywalker be modeled as a paladin? Makes pretty decent sense. Now, Wesley wasn't dropping spells, and nor were the Three Musketeers, so a 1:1 conversion isn't going to be completely accurate. But, you can certainly get the whole "inspired by" thing going. This really does tie into the basic theme of the thread that some people get this very fixed image of a class/element in their head and, even though that image isn't actually the only possible image, cannot seem to let go of that image when presented by an alternative view. So, we have urchin backgrounds that cannot be strong, despite surviving by strength being a direct quote in the background. Or a disbelief that these fictional characters could be represented by paladins. [/QUOTE]
