[QUOTE="Lalato, post: 6331187, member: 9171"] Well that escalated quickly. [MENTION=6777265]Xodis[/MENTION] and [MENTION=9327]Halivar[/MENTION]... calling an edition of D&D a card game is going to sound very edition warlike to many people. I suggest you refrain from doing so, and try to keep your arguments to Paladins. If you read upthread, I mention the Dragon article (A Plethora of Paladins) that officially introduced multi-aligned Paladins in 1e. This is not a new concept. Prior to that, the concept of Anti-Paladin was around. Back in the day, the alignment restriction and code seemed necessary to keep a character with obviously awesome stats and abilities in check. The need for that "balance" is gone in the more recent editions of the game. The archetype that is trying to be portrayed can be done by any class through feats... and furthermore... I would argue that the Cleric can already handle the niche better than the LG-only Paladin anyway. [/QUOTE]
