Heh, well, planar travel isn't banned, it just doesn't work currently. That is something that will change as the campaign continues. And as for the Inquisition, think "Athar ideology, with a thousand years to evolve/devolve due to superstition, greed, and powermongering."

Sorry PoE, didn't really know if you were serious or not. It won't happen again.

Yeah, real amusing. Go do things to yourself that Eric's Grandma would not appreciate hearing about.

Okay, so he wasn't talking about the religion.....Darmanicus said:
....But what was he doing with the cats?!
Data: "Unlike a canine, Spot does not respond to verbal
commands. He will need to be fed once a day. He
prefers Feline Supplement #25."
Worf: "I understand."
Data: "And he will require water, and you must provide him
with a sandbox. And you must talk to him. Tell him he is a
pretty cat, and a good cat."
Worf: "I will feed him."
Data: "Perhaps that will be enough."
P.S. There are people who seem to have come into this thread only to actively be offended or offensive at people, and using Eric's Grandma as a perverse insult has got to be a new low of some sort. Please don't get this thread shut down over religious argument. If you've something to add regarding the initially stated problem with Paladin PCs, we'd love to hear it. Thanks.

And I will ask again. Patryn, would you please edit your post to remove my offensive comment. That way it won't offend anyone else. If you would prefer, I can ask one of the moderators to delete/edit the post instead. I too would rather not have this thread closed.
[Edit] That request goes to you too Darmanicus. Thanks. [/Edit]

Actually, I came into this thread to hear interesting thoughts about how paladins is a very, very different D&D setting might be employed, only to hear a very commonly used, very insulting statement.
The original poster, upon being informed of the offensive nature of such a comment, was man (woman?) enough to apologize and remove it (thanks again, Icy). I've since removed my comments asking that it be removed.
Since I am the Player in question and I think this thread has reached its conclusion of good imput for my GM I think I will chime in.
I view Exalted as more than good. Good is the easy road where there are many shades of grey and you can choose to do just about anything and justify it. Exalted was about the black and white path. Where no evil, no matter how small, is acceptable. Where the lesser of two evils is never good enough. I may be wrong though, in the end its up to the GM.
The Book of Exalted Deeds outlays some rules for Redeeming evil NPC's and I really looked forward to trying a run at the whole concept of not killing the big bad guy at the end of the maze. Now granted, it makes things complicated and difficult.
Rule #1 - It should be fun. If its not (and I thought it was) then we work somthing else out.
Thanks to all who have provided input on this, its all been very enlightening. And I do have to say that IcyCool is definatly a Cat-o-Holic. He has CRAZY cats and they are HUUUUGE. These arent large cats, these are like the corn fed cats that the Pharos kept. They are probably better fed than most minimum wage employees.

I applaud your desire to play an exalted character. I would love it as a DM if more players took on such a challenge. That said, it seems as though you overdid it with regards to the raging bad guy. Redemption doesn't start with the good guys pointing their sword at the bad guys and saying "Repent or die!" A bad guy has got to want to be redeemed, and needs to ask for quarter before it is granted. In the case of the barbarian mentioned above, even an exalted character should have just downed the guy--from the description, he had no desire to do anything but feed the paladin his own small intestines. True redemption can't be forced.Grogtar said:
Good luck with your roleplaying!

He was crazed with nasty scars all over him and his veins were bulging. He was obviously raging, probably influences by evil magic or drugs.
{edit} Besides, every barbarian knoll has an inner child, and with a 23 Diplomacy skill I plan to find it, bring it out, and teach it to skip rope {/edit}
