Well... this character can only exist in a moral framework where absolute goodness cannot be acheived without a god's help. So he's as good as any man alone, which to say he isn't, but he strives to accept grace. Certainly. At first. His story is one of redemption, so he'll become more virtuous over time.Yes. He's got Evil in him, as do all men. He strives against it. Badly.The flesh is weak...I'm not arguing that this guy fits the description of a Paladin under the RAW. I'm asking if people think he's an interesting special case. Under the RAW he'd be a fighter gradually becoming worthy of Paladinhood. But that's not the role I wanted, that isn't someone struggling to accept the fact he's already been bathed in a god's grace. That certainly isn't a character who could play out showing humility to a group of established Paladins...From a balance standpoint, I can't see how keeping the Paladin abilites throughout his code violating period amounts to any kind of advantage: 'cause the abilities are not that good. In purely mechanical temrs, he's better off being a some type of fighter blend... This is a heavy RP character through and through.</blockquote>
