[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9168044, member: 2209"] A lot of D&D is easy to reskin. I have been playing a 5e paladin from levels 1-8 so far who mechanically is an oath of glory paladin, in universe he is a viking warrior who is just awesome. Smites are anime punches. Being near him just makes things better for you (+4 saves, +10 move) because he is that inspiring. His mechanical lay on hands hp healing is either warlord slap you on the back for encouragement or flipping his hair so you can see his smile and know he has his mojo back after the bad guys looked like they had him on the ropes. Every time he detects evil he comments on how certain things just smell wrong and feel off. This is in a world where holy knight divinely powered paladins are an in universe thing. A thing he is not a part of. The other paladin in the group is a part of that narrative thing with full on divine angel powers. There are corner case situations where reskinning could get awkward, I am sure there are specific paladin spells that would take some work, but for the most part it has been easy and seamless and worked really well and been a lot of fun.
