[QUOTE="velm, post: 1879019, member: 25998"] Religion, alignment, they are USUALLY one of the same. Are they always, maybe not, but for the most part, they are. If a character follows a CG religion, odds are that character will be CG. I paladin needs to follow a religion, at least the LG one, to receive the spells, and other benefits. Otherwise, how do they get them? Turn undead, does that LG turn undead due his charming good looks? NO, through divine powers granted to them via a god. Why would any religion have a need for a paladin, or paladin like character? To take quests and smite wrongs done to that religion. The paladin is a combination of fighter/cleric. hit points of the fighter, as well as base attacks and so on with some minor spell caster abilities. Would a quest always need a paladin? it would depend on the quest, but for the most part, I would say yes. A quest could be anything, say, a thief or rival church desecrated a NG church and stole an artifact. It might be on the shoulders of that NG paladin to retrieve it. IF the guidlines are broken, or not followed, then obviously, that character loses his status as a paladin and has to atone the same way a LG would have to. The 'holy warriors' of a church are indeed the run of the mill clerics, however, like I said, the Paladin is an 'elite' member of that church. Just like with the LG version, you will NOT see hordes of paladins of other religions/alignments running around. They will STILL be just as rare as the LG one. [/QUOTE]
