Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 1879093" data-attributes="member: 3929">Umbran: Fair enough, he consorts with Evil and he loses his powers, but he can consort with Chaos. What if he doesn't know about the evilness? Put this way:Hextor has a great PR department. He wants to enhance public opinion for him so he equips 20 or so devotees of Hextor (use experts here, not clerics or blackguards what with their Aura of Evil) to begin the endoctrination of young folks into the beneficient Hextor fold, and fashions a Brotherhood of Paladins of Hextor. Hextor uses these troops as his front line in the fight against Chaos, both Good and Evil.Yeah, OK, so that doesn't wash very well, but it can still be rationalized, even if its tougher than rationalizing Paladins of Chaos like velm has done. I think both rationalizations are specious.Who says they don't?Why does Holy Warrior of XXX have to be a base class, and who says any class can't be a holy warrior? Shoot, even a wizard can have faith and fight in the ranks of crusading armies. What keeps a fighter, ranger, or even a bloody bard from being holy? All they have to do is have faith, prosthelyze (sp?), and lead people.Want a more martial cleric? Multiclass with Fighter. With Improved Toughness.Want a more esoteric priest? Give him all expert levels and choose skills that reflect contemplation. He can even qualify for the Contemplative PrC eventually.Want a Friar Tuck type? Ranger levels.Don't constrain yourself to thinking that if there isn't a base class for it, that it must not exist.</blockquote>
