[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7449117, member: 6775477"] That matters little to someone coming back from AD&D. My statement might not have been accurate for the OP (whom I guess is coming from 3E), but that doesn't change the fact that many of the classes have had their fluff altered quite a bit from prior editions, the paladin more so than most. Alignment is VERY broadly defined in the PHB (pg. 122), existing only as pretty much as only 1-2 sentences. Please explain to me how "act as their conscience directs, with little regard for what other expect" is unable to perform one of the following: "Don't like or cheat. Let your word be your promise." "Never fear to act, though caution is wise." "Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom." "Treat other with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm." "Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you." [/QUOTE]
