[QUOTE="Mach2.5, post: 1472110, member: 12834"] Wow, you have now just listed the general moral guidelines that any good aligned warrior would probably follow. Not much of a code then, is it, nor much of a paladin in the end. So, if you have to alter around the fundamentals of defining (non mechanically) the paladin, why even include the class? The more you try and hammer a square peg into a round hole, the more the peg becomes round anyhow. There's also the whole "where the heck does the paly get his powers from?" aspect left to deal with. There's absolutely nowhere within the setting for such a person to derive those kinds of abilities without resorting to altering them into elemental divine magic, psionics, or arcane magic. You could easily as a DM come up with your own plane or power base from which the paladin draws his power from or that grants the paladin such favor, but its not in the setting innitially. [/QUOTE]
