[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5892573, member: 64209"] I liked these two comments and they address how I feel about holy knights. I couldn't answer the poll as none of the answers quite fit my answer. I think a creed is much more valuable than an alignment. Beyond that, I wonder if the creed is one of a god or one of a sect. Are there paladins of justice, or paladins of Torm? I'd like there to be one or the other, but not both. It'd be an interesting division if paladins were outside the church and served specific ideals, whereas clerics served specific gods (perhaps with different understandings/foci on those gods different spheres/ideals). I do think evil gods should have (un)holy warriors (or the tenets of evil should have dedicated warriors). Lastly, I think the name "Paladin" should remain LG only (or the archetype of Charlemagne's paladins whatever their creed) while other names or a generic name would apply to warriors of a god ("templars"?). It bugged me when they made Angels "servants of gods, including evil gods" in 4e. I'd have prefered a new term "Deists?" with Angels only serving good gods. [/QUOTE]
