[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 5885947, member: 779"] I'm all for Paladins of any alignment, yes the name Crusader could be used, but everyone is expecting a Paladin, and it would be a waste to have 9 different classes that's sort of the same thing but "serve" different alignments. Therefore they should just have one class named Paladin as the umbrella for all of them, and different sets of abilities (and maybe a 'subclass' name/title) for each alignment, like bonuses against fear effects for LG, bonuses against charm/domination effects for CG, bonuses when sacrificing the innocent for CE, and so on. As for one way to distinguish the Cleric from the Paladin, make sure the Cleric doesn't get Plate Mail proficiency. I never liked the fact that they did. But I've always been of the opinion that Clerics should definitely be far more magical than the Paladin. But I never really liked the fact that some classes got 9 levels of spells while others only got 6 or 4 levels either. So I want Paladins to get 9 levels of spells/powers like Clerics, just a very different more weapon-oriented bunch, that may overlap with fighters. [/QUOTE]
