[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1546554, member: 14403"] If there is anything to the Paladin class that needs to be fixed it is the whole Moral Code and Alignment thing. My view on the Palladin class allows my players to have a bit more freedom in character concept and frees them from the whole Moral Code problem. My view is that the Paladin is the hand picked champion of a god... not necessarily a Knight (that is what the Cavalier PrC is for). Some kid growing up in the sticks may have been chosen to be a champion but that kid wouldn't have the first clue on what the code of chivalry is. If there is a Moral Code beyond what is right and wrong then it is a personal one... two Paladins need not necessarily have the same Code. I'll develop it with a Paladin player and it will be between the DM (me) and the player. It is my belief that Paladins have been typecast into the D&D version of a "Knight" when Fighters could make even better Knights themselves. You could have a Knight (Fighter) who follows a stricter code than what the Farmboy Hero (Paladin) does. Just my $0.02. :) [/QUOTE]
