Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 1792826" data-attributes="member: 537">You can believe that if you like.I always use exactly the words I intend to use. In this case, small ones.Which part of "what is the difference between a fighter who is also a hero, and a paladin?" did you fail to understand?Hint 1: The paladin as a hero who is chosen by an external force, as compared to a fighter, is not something that stands up to any scrutiny. I can just as easily play a fighter whose backstory involves being chosen by some external force. I can play _any bloody character class_ as a hero who is chosen by an external force. In fact, there are plenty of classes that would have a better claim on face value, just from their supernatural powers, for being favoured by some particular external force or other. The druid gets to shapeshift, the cleric gets miracle, the bard gets brain-bending powers, etcetera. If you go to splats, there is even a class whose backstory _explicitly_ involves being chosen by an external force: the favoured soul, in the MiniHB.Hint 2: I did not confuse the issue by introducing multiple meanings of "hero" (that was diaglo). Point me to any instance where I used "hero" in a way that could be construed as anything other than a synonym for "the heroic ideal", or "knight in shining armour". Do try to keep up.Do you even know what "schtick" means?Hello in there. Being a stupid troll is MY schtick. Please NOT TO STEAL MY SCHTICK.</blockquote>
