[QUOTE="sword-dancer, post: 222466, member: 1491"] Hello SHARK 1 How did you define sophisticated civilization? The celtic culture AFAIK was not inferior to the roman, looking at the arenas, mass slavery, a few murderous roman emperors, Nero Caligula, And btw barabarian means only non greece speaker, 2) Yes and this ideals was hammered into the noble class to stop their marauding, plundering and slaughter. Gottesfrieden/Gods peace, the church not allowed the nobles to feud for a part of the weak " that the peasants could sow the field", forbids to take from the peasant the oxen etc. Paladins this word comes AFAIK from the palatin(palace) officers of charlemagne. And sophisticated was not something i would describe them. Maybe barabarians like the celt, germanic tribes, goth needn`t a few because they didn`t bow of an tyrannic or other unworthy ruler. The eastgoths condemned Theodahad the Traitor King to death. The /noble knight(Paladin) ideal is european mediveal, but the d&d paladin is not necessary the questing knight on tour de chivalry to rescue damsels in distress, The Paladin is the barrier between the innocent and the evil, the champion of good, if he uses a 1 1/2 hand sword or a greataxe or Staff didn`t matter. 3) Another Paladin, could/should teach the aspirant, or the aspirant pledge his fealty to the god(s) of light/Good. Take la pucelle Jehanne d`Arc, she was called by the saints and the holy mother to fight the enemy of france, not by king or church? What need has the paladin to understand religion(theology)? The decision of being a paladin isn`t made IMPOV in the pragmatic mind but in his heart, in his definition what is right or wrong, and the decision [B]why[/B] how to act then! [B]Why[/B] he fight against evil defines if he is an paladin, the motivation is the point what counts! I´m 33 years old bye Sword-dancer [/QUOTE]
