[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3683207, member: 29014"] Ah yes, it is worth every penny! As for the flavour text, I'll admit you can definitely change it. I've seen some truly awesome campaigns where the GM toys with flavour on monsters and other things to create their desired flavour. The only reason it matters to me somewhat that the interpretation is the default core is that my interpretations and ideas have had arguments claiming I'm changing D&D / not playing D&D any more, so I like to point out the sources from regular D&D that at least back me up here. I'm in agreement with you on the Paladin's Code. I haven't actually had a Lawful Good Paladin player yet in 3.5, though I've had Paladins of Freedom, but I always talk to my players about flavour, cosmological, and alignment issues when they want to have a discussion (one player in particular has sometimes discussed with me for hours). This can be helpful. I also don't feel constrained in houseruling my own Paladin's Codes for each deity that are different from normal (for instance, the FR love goddess Sune is inexplicably yet specifically allowed to have LG Paladins despite being CG. If someone wanted to play one, I would change their code to state that they have to protect and cherish love, which could change the Percival situation dramatically if he only worshipped her instead of Heironeous!)
