[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1528379, member: 5202"] OK here goes. The Paladin takes a code of conduct. This code of conduct has several parts. 1)Alignment restriction:Lawful good 1a)Lose all abilities if deviate from said alignment 2)Respect authority, blah blah blah 3)Devotion to righteousness, a god, a belief in general to gain power So if Paladin training costs 5 points, I would probably say that they would be rated at 2, 2 and 1CB respectively. Restrictions of 5 points would offset the Paldin Training cost of 5. The same can be done to Druids and Rangers probably. Yes it DOES allow for someone to twink their character a bit, but a good DM will make thr character responsible for the things they choose. In my previous example of the wizard who decided he wanted the chivalrous code for his character, taht would give him 2 CB as he is taking on #2. He could also choose, for 1 point, to tie his magic into his belief in whatever. This second option goes back to the Palladium RPG system mechanically for me as you could have a superhero who had to eat a Twinkie before he could use his special power. They referred to it as the Popeye Syndrome. I think Lawful Good is the only alignment that would be worth 2CB, all other restrictions (Druid's Neutral, etc) would be worth 1. It's hard to be THAT goody gody in a D&D group after all heh. This was what I was trying to get at without actually typing the changes out *grin* On the other aspects I skipped over like restrictions for magic and such, I just thought the options could be there b/c while yes some people would only use it for twinking, it could come into good roleplaying ideas. Maybe someone would see that restriction and pick it up for say..their Fighter. Having this restriction negates teh value of your armor proficiencies. You know HOW to wear it, but you refuse to.
