[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9361288, member: 4534"] When I rolled the dice of a younger man, back when I played AD&D 2nd edition, the Paladin was one of my most favored classes to play. What I enjoyed most about playing a Paladin back in 2nd edition was that I really got to be a good guy. My character wasn't just good at beating up bad guys, he could heal the sick & injured, and was just an all around nice guy who was genuinely interested in helping people. Maybe I just lucked out, because the DM never made or encouraged me to murder little orc babies or just behave like a jerk in general. I don't think anyone needs to worry about the Paladin class. I don't think many people who pick up D&D these days immediately think of Roland, Lancelot, or the Crusades when they peruse the Player's Handbook. And even then, the Paladin of 2014 is much different than the Paladin in 1983 (?) or whenever it was first introduced. [/QUOTE]
