[QUOTE="velm, post: 1878936, member: 25998"] I think all religions should have a holy warrior. These warriors are the ones on whom quests will fall upon. The cleric is a foot soldier, if you will, in the hierarchy of the church. It is the holy warrior who is part of an Elite corps of individuals. Now, mostly in DND, and other games, the 'Paladin' has been LG, and has certain codes to which they have to follow. This character is based on Aurthurian myths. The knight in shining armor and so on. As the article from 1st ed Dragon said, the 'paladins' from other religions would have their own code to follow. They would have their own set of ideals. I just do NOT like the fact that only LG churchs, in standard DND, can have a holy warrior. Now, some may argue that a 'chaotic' person would not being able to live by a code. But that I disagree with, take for example, the movie 'Pirates of the Caribean'. (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. but i liked it. just bear with this.) Once 'Parlay' was said, it was followed, even though they were pirates. Now, later on, it was mentioned that it was just guidelines and only applied to pirates, but it was still followed. A CG person can still follow certain guidelines and still be CG. Take for example, if a guideline for a CG paladin is to be up at the first rays of the sun. Would that be so hard to do? probably not, what is so tough about always taking the REV watch when in a party? Hey, they are up at the first rays of the sun. They can still be chaotic. I am sure there are other guidlines can be made as well, just with a little DM inspiration. [/QUOTE]
