[QUOTE="The Oracle, post: 66028, member: 1633"] Nope. RTFM. You are talking about CLERICS. Paladin's don't have this restriction for some reason. They don't even have to have a diety. It doesn't say anything about restricted gods that can't be worshipped or being within one alignment. Those things apply to clerics only. I addressed this in my first post. There IS NO restriction on which god you worship as a paladin. I have seen paladin's of Wee Jas for instance. Think about it, you are having a meeting of the Vecna Society, and you need a guy at the door to make sure everyone entering is evil. A Paladin is perfect! His code must "be in line with" lawfulness and goodness, whatever that is supposed to mean. That means if Vecna is displeased by any of his minions, the paladin is the executioner! He is killing evil. Additionally, rival evil churches will be trying to horn in on the action, and some of them will be evil, and the paladin again can serve the cause of good by ridding the world of more evil! Actually, a paladin would do a lot of good inside an evil organization, he might even try to change some of their alignments, as a proslytizer. He won't go around killing babies and so on, but there is evil everywhere in the Church of Vecna, and how could you better keep an eye on it than by being there? Its sounds pretty interesting actually. [/QUOTE]
