[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 4925190, member: 9249"] Oh, yes. Yes yes yes. I am at the point right now of having removed all alignment restrictions from base classes, and am bordering on the point of removing alignment entirely from the game. Clerics and Paladins have a code of conduct related to their faith. Healers heal whomever needs it and never harm their patients-- but that doesn't stop them from being as Evil as the day is long. Knights have a strict code of conduct... that does not in the least stop them from embracing individuality, freedom, or even anarchy and slaughter. You know, if they're going to have the Blackguard class for evil Paladins, the Holy Liberator for chaotic good Paladins, the Temple Raider of Olidammara for chaotic neutral larcenous Paladins, the Gray Guard for "greater" good Paladins, and the Pious Templar for everyone else... I don't see why they can't just make Paladin a class like Cleric, with all of the same restrictions. If you want to make the Code of Conduct stricter, so be it. The favored class of Githzerai is Monk. Shouldn't that be enough said? Yeah, but when certain rules are admittedly kept for reasons of tradition alone, or for "flavor reasons" that do not particularly make sense, it shouldn't be necessary to make house rules to circumvent them.
