Paladin Role Models

[The Great Bear King]

These are the paladin archetypes that come to my mind.

Yoda

George Orwell (Isn't Socialism a lawful philosophy?)

Gen. George S. Patton ("Writes poetry and believes in reincarnation, prays on his knees and swears like a stable boy.")

Gen. of the Army Douglass A. MacArthur

Barron Munchousen and his delusions of grandure

Can any of you come up with NPC's based off of these characters

 

[the Jester]

I think the best two role models for a paladin are Superman and Captain America.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Optimus Prime.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.

Saladin

Sun Tsu.

 

[Three_Haligonians]

I am so glad you asked.

Constable Benton Fraser of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

..nuff said.

J from Three Haligonians

i can't wait till this thread turns into an arguement over what a paladin is really about and what paladins can and cannot do.

Hmmm...hasn't happen yet.

 

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

Don Quixote

Dr. Laura Schlessinger (sp)

Joan of Arc (Mila Jovovich in The Messenger)

 

[Endur]

Paladins

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars)

Superman and Captain America

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

protagonist from Horse Lord, Dragon Lord, Demon Lord, Warlord's Domain series by Peter Morwood

Spock from Star Trek

Batman from the 60's TV show

Aragorn from LOTR

Many other fictional characters, including every character John Wayne played on TV and none of the characters that Clint Eastwood played

 

[The Great Bear King]

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars)

I think he's more of a Hospitalier (Neutral Good paladin variant).

Superman and Captain America

I agree with you.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

I agree with you again.

Spock from Star Trek

"Reason is the begining of wisdom, not the end of it."

Batman from the 60's TV show

A psychedelic paladin in tights? That sounds fun!

Many other fictional characters, including every character John Wayne played on TV and none of the characters that Clint Eastwood played

Clint Eastwood's characters would be freedom fighters or rangers.

 

[Junkmaster357]

The knight from Dragonheart, Bowen (played by Dennis Quaid).

Granted, he DID screw up a lot, but he did "atone" for his actions. I see Paladins following a rigorous code of conduct, not checking with the local magistrate everywhere he/she goes to see if it's illegal to paint cows purple.


On a side note, it was in that town. And then the party proceeded to paint EVERY cow in the town green.

Munchkins...GRRR!
