Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 1472161" data-attributes="member: 2067">Uhm......the paladin right now has a code of 'good aligned warrior.' The thing that makes him a paladin is that he follows a Code, and gains powers for that -- the exact code don't especially matter so much, as long as it is "good," because that alone sets any paladin apart from any mundane fighter. (The Lawful aspect comes a lot from them following the code in the first place) In the PHB, the Paladin is held to a higher standard than the Fighter. In DS it would be the same -- it's just that the Fighter isn't held to a very high standard to begin with. I'm not sure if it's a square peg; it's a round peg, you're just putting it it in sideways. I'm not having trouble defining the paladin -- just like the PHB says, the paladin is compassion, order, and power. A warrior of justice who's higher level of morality grants them powers beyond normal folks. It's the same paladin, with a bit of a flavor change.Uhmmmmmmmmm............just change the flavor text from "Divine power" to "Psionic power." Or accept the rules as written, which never state that any plane need be present for a paladin's powers to manifest. Again, it's just a flavor change. Which is more than acceptable in an alternate campaign setting, and much more preferable to just saying "THEY DON'T BELONG HERE!"</blockquote>
