[QUOTE="Thia Halmades, post: 2686923, member: 35863"] I love being old-school. Part of the reason Paladins are LG is because they get some pretty insane abilities; they also suffer from MAD like you wouldn't believe, but that's neither here nor there. I agree: you're not really talking about changing the class, you're talking about changing the code. If you want to do that, DM310 will give you alternate builds. My thing is, I don't mess with 'em. They are a sacred cow, and one that I'm not ready to sacrifice, personally. The other key element to the Paladin is the truly talented player it takes to pull it off without being hated by the party inside of 5 minutes. I've had a guy playing one in my primary HB campaign for 3 years, and he loves that character. He loves the moral dilemmas, he loves the challenges. For him, and for the way I DM, playing a Paladin is like a PrC unto itself. So for me, it's a long standing appreciation for a great class that isn't always well handled. Not an indictment against you for wanting to drop the LG restriction, just my thoughts on why I wouldn't do it. [/QUOTE]
