[QUOTE="Alchemist, post: 759942, member: 6594"] Those are good, solid points. :) I've always considered paladins as champions of a particular god rather than a generalized champion of good battling the generalized hordes of evil. With that in mind, a paladin of a LG god is just as reasonable as a paladin of a LE, NG or NE god. The paragons of excellence in bringing the word to the masses, and smiting down those who act counter to the objectives of the church, and all that. A paladin of Hextor would be concerned about maintaining the iron-fist stranglehold of his religion upon a countryside and protecting it from wandering do-gooders and those who would disrupt the order that is in place. He would be geared up with detect/smite good/chaos abilities and whatnot. A paladin of Pelor would have a different focus than the current LG paladin. It dosen't seem unreasonable, but would require more work and adjustment of the existing paladin. Just throwing some thoughts out there. :) [/QUOTE]
