Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tsyr" data-source="post: 65181" data-attributes="member: 354">IMC, paladins of one of the four Demon Dragons can be of any lawful alignment, although their alignment does dictate which dragon they can draw power from. Quite often (moreso when it comes to the non-good paladins, but it happens even amongst the good) the paladin's "code" is very loose... The demon-dragons themselves are something slightly less than sentient, acting almost entirely on a god-created instinct. And paladins who follow the dragons (as opposed to the new "gods") tend to be very... animalistic... in their ways. They almost always are fairly... errrm... passionate? about things. And yes, they do sometimes act before thinking things through. And you never, ever want to get on the bad side of one, even those who follow the good dragon (one good, two neutral, one evil... the good two neutral dragons will take followers of any lawful alignment, the other two only of their own). They have a very... base... responce to anger. As a matter of fact, all paladins are able to go into a near barbarian rage through a house rule of mine. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> .What does this have to do with the orignal question?Well, for all intents, the dragon paladins have no "code". They very much follow their own heart, and don't bother themselves with some silly "rules". And I havn't found it unbalanced... A paladin can still violate his ALIGNMENT quite easily... but it doesn't give the DM as many chances to... erm, forgive the expresion, but shaft the paladin. Not saying anyone here does that, but I know people like that, have gamed under them, and that's one of the principle reasons for the way paladins are in my campagin. I've always hated it when DMs throw things at paladins just to try to get them to screw up and loose their powers.</blockquote>
