Now the bit of advice I'll give on this is, talk to your group about what bothers you about the game and what your limits are.  If you're open and honest you can probably come to an agreement on how to play the game and present the various fantasy aspects of the world.  In my case, it would be - I will not play a divine character, and I will not play a character that is an envoy or champion of a god.  Other than that, it's mostly just basic stuff like I want to play an overall heroic campaign (ie not murder hobo and angst lords).  Whatever things matter to you, just have a conversation about it with your group.  I can't give any examples about what to do with Paladins in particular, because that's not something I personally feel.  Any solution for that is going to have to come from you.</blockquote>
