[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 1873833, member: 386"] Sorry. I was messing around with a new spell called "Summon Pedantic Freaks". ;) I don't think that there is anything against a paladin being a sexual creature, but, like others have said, there are other considerations. Who is going to raise the child if one does arise from the union? (Does a female paladin have the time to raise a child while adventuring in the typical D&D sense? I would say yes, and it could be an interesting experience to role-play, but that's just me.) If the paladin's personal moral code goes against this kind of behaviour, it wouldn't be right to go against those beliefs. However, in a magical fantasy world you could easily introduce spells of birth control. The paladin might serve a goddess who grants these spells to her worshippers, and the paladin might even be expected to "share the love." I think the paladin should also make sure that any partner knows just how much the paladin is willing to give - if both parties are just looking to "hook up", and birth control is used, then I don't think it would be a big deal. If the paladin's partner is looking for a long-term relationship then the paladin might not want to get involved, if adventuring will prohibit such things. At any rate, it sounds like it could make for some interesting role-playing. [/QUOTE]
