Non-Lawful/Good paladin/holy/unholy warrior?

[Brother Shatterstone]

This is sort of a split off of the "do you use the core classes/PrC presented in Dragon" but at the same time it isn't.

Anyhow in Dragon 310 the other good paladin/holy/unholy warrior and natural paladin/holy/unholy warrior are presented, 5 total. In Dragon 312 the evil paladins are presented, total 3.

This really should be a two-part poll, so if you fell free to address both questions please reply.

Question 1: Do you, or would you, allow gods/goddess to have paladin/holy/unholy warrior that do not have lawful good cleric alignments?

Question 2: If you do allow the above are the paladin/holy/unholy warrior the same alignment as the god/goddess or do they just need to fall into the cleric alignment?

Question 3: Do you have balance between good verus evil?

Edit: added question 3
Edit: changed "paladin" to read "paladin/holy/unholy warrior".

In the game world I consider my "home" game, holy warriors encompassing the paladin are allowed, following the Holy Warrior and Unholy Warrior classes presented in the Green Ronin products.

Thus far, they've been a great success, and the way the various religions have been set up, there is still a particular prestige associated with being a classic paladin.

I have the Unholy Warrior book; it's awesome though I haven't had a chance to use it.

Is the holy warrior in "book of righteousness"?

For my campaign, I've allowed the Sentinel and the Enforcer from Dragon 310, but no one has played them yet.

Ao, do you plan on using the evil paladins from 312 as NPC? Just curious at to what the balance of good verus evil was.

I don't usually buy Dragon, so I actually haven't seen them.

The main reason I bought 310 was for the DM Screen.

If I had them, I'd probably use them. After all, I love my AEG Evil book.

They’re pretty good, and make the balance between good and evil feel complete, well at least to me.

Can't argue with logic like that?

According to the product guide, yes, it is.

I'm planning on buying it within the week, and sending out a "Share the Love" (amazon.com) for it.

Won't get to read it for about a month, however, since I'm also buying the Noble's Handbook, and that'll take 1 to 2 months to ship (since they have to order from the distributor, etc...).

Cool and it shall be mine as soon as my two 5 dollar coupons from Waldenbooks. That and their 15% off their running via a coupon. BTW I posted a link to the coupon in Meta the other day. Plus, another 10% for my preferred reader card and I should have it for 20 bucks plus taxes.

Amazon, yuck! Why not use FRP or D20books?

That's on my wish list also.

Amazon, yuck! Why not use FRP or D20books?

Because I have an Amazon.com (tm) Visa (tm) card, which gives me $0.01 for every dollar I spend, and $0.03 (total) for every dollar I spend on Amazon.

That, and the $25 credit card rewards gift certificate I'm getting in a couple days. And I'll get another one in another month or two (it's been a VERY expensive month; I'm only about $600 away from the next one), at which point I'll buy Of Sound Mind, Mind Shadows, and Testament (and send out Share the Loves on those, though I doubt there will be as much demand).
