[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 5914168, member: 61501"] You can do everything by having a few very versatile classes or by having a huge number of very specific classes or a few rigid classes that allow multiclassing or different aspects of characters split into eg classes backgrounds & themes that you mix & match. People get hung up on certain terms & dont allow that they mean different things in different games & different editions of games. Paladin is one of those classes that mixes up parts that could easily be separated - combat ability with heavy armor & knightly weapons, strict adherence to a code, divinely powered support/healing powers, horse summoning. Separating off the code & powers into a theme would let any fighter or cleric or more be a paragon of his (goody goody) deity. I am not a fan in principle of aligment derived classes but without his LG then a paladin is very hard to distinguish from a particulalry martial cleric. [/QUOTE]
