Message: <blockquote data-quote="Umbran" data-source="post: 6156100" data-attributes="member: 177">Technically, with the class and spell as written in the SRD, reading strictly - yes, that Druid or CN cleric could cast the spell for a paladin.Note that they could *not* do so for a LG cleric who has lost their powers. They are separate functions and worded differently in the spell description.Though, personally, I think that in most cases folks trying to rules-lawyer that sort of solution for a paladin have missed the entire point of the restrictions.  As for how I myself would run it - it would depend upon the cosmology and world in question.  I note that you can, technically, have a paladin with a LG alignment, and a code, but no deity.  If we required a cleric of the same deity or power, that paladin would be sunk.  I would be willing to allow for a cleric who matched pretty closely to do the deed.  For example, if the paladin had lost out because they had behaved in a chaotic manner, I would allow for another LG cleric, or perhaps even a LN one, to cast the spell.  If they had behaved in an evil manner, a LG or NG cleric might do the deed.Even in cases where there were gods involved, I might allow for that sort of thing, in terms of the gods knowing and respecting each other.  But that would depend upon the detailed cosmology of a given world, and would not generalize well.</blockquote>
