The very best of the Knights of the Round Table such as like Arthur, Lancelot & Galahad being the prime examples. Although I think the concept could branch out to include the dashing musketeer or honourable samarai. I don't have a singular focus on the fighting style, rather the demanding code they live up to and exemplify. Lancelot was included above because the fall from grace is a constant possibility, present even at the moment of greatest glory. As such I think a paladin must always be lawful good - the best of the best both morally and physically. Loosening the alignment restriction is losing focus on what the paladin is about imo.The Cleric? They advance their Deity's cause with prayers granted through faith. The Paladin lives their code of chivalry and advances it through martial prowess and virtue granted by exemplary behaviour. If the Cleric & Deity are LG they could well look something similar. Hang around them for a while you'd soon spot the difference.</blockquote>
