[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 433266, member: 6562"] [b]Re: Re: Paladin as Prestige Class[/b] I take the view that Paladins are holy warriors, servants of specific churches / gods. Clerics certainly make good Paladins, but so do Fighters, Rangers and Monks. My "iconic" Paladin starts as a multi-classed Fighter/Cleric. [b][/b] I took a look at the Greyhawk and FRCS pantheons, and I agree with you. Changed above. [b][/b] Hmm, so perhaps a Will save of +4... that would allow three paths, either Iron Will Feat, Cleric levels or high Wisdom, any of which would make "intuitive" sense. What do you think? [b][/b] Bullies? Cops more like. Intimidation would consist of threats of eternal damnation or application of the letter of the strictest law available. A Paladin ought to get a synergy bonus for having Knowlege(Law)... hmm, that's a good class skill, too. I think the Bard's alignment keeps him from being a good match with Paladin, though I'm considering a "holy liberator" -- Chaotic Good sort of Paladin -- which would be a good match for Bards. [b][/b] Yes. I hope the updated version is more to your liking. The individual abilities have been beefed up, and the Paladin now gets two of them per level. I'm counting on Divine Grace to make up for this somewhat. Would anyone consider that granting two good saves make this PrC too good? If not, perhaps Paladins should get good Fort and Will saves? -- Nifft [/QUOTE]
