Message: <blockquote data-quote="CTurbo" data-source="post: 7298208" data-attributes="member: 6855234">I have played a few Paladins in 5e so far and none of them were "totally messed up."One of them was LG and he just wanted to do what was right. He never got Lawful stupid, always listened to his friends' advice, and was really well liked by everybody. He was also a powerhouse on the battlefield whether he was buffing the group or just killing the bad guy. One of them was CN and never got fully fleshed out. He never did anything extreme either way.One of them was LE, and I wouldn't say he was "messed up" just because he was evil. He never went Stupid Evil. The most evil thing he ever did was nothing more than a series of evil acts that were necessary to get him out of a bind that he got himself into. He broke into somewhere for some reason(I don't remember lol) and got caught by a single guard. He was able to defeat the guard without catching even more attention, and basically kidnapped him, robbed him, completed his mission of stealing whatever, actually ended up framing the guard, getting a reward for turning him in, and watched the guard get executed. It wasn't like all that was a cold calculated plan. It just sort of worked out that way. It was pretty epic though how it all went down. Other than that, he REALLY cared about 2 of his friends and would have done anything for them. The rest of the group never even realized he was evil. They just thought he was a little greedy how loot was so important to him. Anyway, this guy can at least kind of justify his Pally's actions. As long as he stays consistent, I don't see any issues with the actual character.</blockquote>
