[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9442056, member: 18"] Matt was 100% clear it absolutely [I]did[/I] apply to things like a new design for a plow. Specific examples were - techniques for forging a sword (not only special ones, just techniques at all), techniques for building buildings, and so on. And he explained that if a sword broke, followers of this god would insist that was because the techniques used for making it had been spread too much, equally if a building collapsed (even if obviously due to time/lack of maintenance or the like, given the example he used was of passing some ruins), said followers would claim the architectural/building techniques had been spread too widely. (I feel like the latter example was intended to paint followers of this god as kind of stupid/irrational, but that doesn't make them less dangerous!) Paladins have never been everyone's friend. What RPGs have you been playing? In 1/2/3E Lawful Stupid was the default alignment most people played Paladins as, and Stick In The Mud was the personality of like over 50% of them! Since 4E you've been able to have Paladins of good or evil gods, too, so... Even in earlier editions you had Paladin-style classes which were not LG or G at all. I love the name Censor but I'm sorry, I don't think "Everyone thinks the Paladin is their friend!" was an actual heroic fantasy issue lol. [/QUOTE]
