[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 6922246, member: 5890"] You can't, because you are level 2. You don't take an oath until you hit level 3. Beyond that - there's no rule about what a paladin is thinking, only governance on what he does. So you could have an evil character who becomes a paladin purely to get awesome powers... but he still has to abide by whichever oath he takes. You could easily have an evil oath of the crown paladin, even one who works for a good king. His king just needs to be very, very careful about what he tells the paladin to do. This is "who will rid me of this meddlesome priest" sort of territory. I think you could have an evil ancients paladin. As others have pointed out - excessive brutality in the course of protecting life and beauty would do it. I think you could have a character who is evil become a devotion paladin... but I think if he stuck to his oath to keep his powers, he'd find himself acting good regardless of how he feels. [/QUOTE]
