[QUOTE="Arbiter of Wyrms, post: 2249595, member: 18021"] I have a Lawful Good Cleric charged with looking after the paladin, who also happened to be the crown prince. This cleric has a decidedly dark turn of character, morose and cynical, suspicious in the extreme. Partially based on Alaister "Mad-Eye" Moody of the Harry Potter series, this priest is sometimes questioned or even called to task for his dark demeanor. "The light that shines the brightest casts the deepest shadows." The paladin/prince he protects was once faced with this dillemma: plunder the dragon's hoard guarded only by a dozen kobolds, or rush to safety the (insignificant NPC) commoner who helped the party find the place before he dies of the poison the kobolds used on him. "I cannot place my glory before the safety of a loyal subject of my father." The party did recover some treasure, though, which the prince immediately siezed to buy horses, armor, and equipment for the rest of the party. He then divided the rest of the treasure into equal shares, using his share to put a 10% deposit on a suit of armor (going for cavalier PrC) and giving the rest to the local orphanage. "Safety in the faithful service of the crown is more important than wealth or glory." Another cleric, this one a dwarf in the service of Moradin, refuses to use magic if there is another solution. "It is my role to serve the All-Father as best I can -- not to beg that He serve me." Some others, not attached to any particular story: "It is better to die serving _______ than to live without purpose." "I do not judge. You will be judged in the afterlife -- now!" "I am but a humble servant of ______. It is by that authority that I command." "To serve is to have purpose." "Redemption of ignorance is always possible, but betrayal can never be forgiven."
