Message: <blockquote data-quote="Painfully" data-source="post: 207954" data-attributes="member: 601">I suppose some of my difficulty comes from the fact that I want to protect the artifact of a lawful good deity.  How would it be protected and how far would the protectors go to keep it hidden?An organization of paladins first came to mind, but I didn't want the organization to be obvious, and paladins are too stereotyped for my tastes.  So, secret paladins came to mind--I can't have them detecting evil wherever they go, so maybe more along the lines of a rogues guild was in order.I was considering an alliance between a rogues guild and a faction of a paladin order that had control of the artifact.  The leaders of each being old friends that got reacquainted and came to an understanding to create one organization over time.So this evolution has created a new prestige class of sorts, an odd one mind you, but a prestige class nontheless.How do you think the main church (from which the original paladin might have come) would view the new faction so long as they say that the artifact is protected?  What about if the church asked to use/view/borrow the artifact?</blockquote>
