[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 6135009, member: 926"] The problem is that Paladins are not a generic Holy Warrior class designed for every god to have them. They are a very specific ideal of the knight in shining armor. As someone pointed out upthread, the generic Holy Warrior class is the Cleric, and it is already designed that way. Paladins are devoted to Law and Good even above and beyond individual gods. If there happens to be a god that embodies the ideals of chivalry, honor, and Lawful Good for a Paladin to follow, then all the better, but Paladins are still not generic holy warriors. Turning Paladins into generic holy warriors who can pick any alignment and follow any god cheapens the meaning of the word Paladin. There's a reason why Paladins get a specific set of abilities that don't change no matter what god they may follow, while Clerics have get differing abilities that are tied to the specific god they worship.
