[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7113605, member: 20564"] Devotion screams lawful to me. Virtuous, honor-bound. Never lie, cheat or deceive. And well, "devotion" is to something, be it a order of knights, a god, a kingdom. Ancients needn't be any of those, and probably usually isn't lawful. Chaotic Good? Sure. Robin Hood or others that use non-lawful methods to achieve good? Okay. And yes, they have a plant-based Channel Divinity, though you can interpret that as more fae based. Actually, historic faerie knights, beholden to no mortal lord, would fit right in. I only played on Oaths of the Ancients paladin, he was a half-elf worshiper of Hermes in a racist and human-centric Rome. In following the tenants of Hermes he protected travelers, regardless of nationality or creed. He sought out news and mail and brought it wherever he traveled so that others may know and hear the word. He healed where he could to remove misery so that others may enjoy life. He sought out and listened to tales not just of other Roman gods, but the gods of other pantheons - he did not see these as enemies or usurpers. He gave respect to all, but not in a humble nor self-effacing way. He enjoyed song and would sing and dance, though his dancing was poor - he just enjoyed it. Quite far from the pure Galahad that is my stereotype for playing an Oath of Devotion paladin. [/QUOTE]
