Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheWriterFantastic™" data-source="post: 6760926" data-attributes="member: 88534">The alignment restriction was partially in place to balance the original paladin's powerful special abilities, when compared to every other class - and we've all seen that trying to balance a set of abilities with RP restrictions is a near-impossible task, because it relies heavily on each game's adjudicator and set of players.No one is preventing you from restricting paladin alignment in your home campaign - but such a blanket RP restriction in a published set of rules is more likely to turn off a large subset of players than to attract them. If you (and your group of players) want to restrict paladins to LG, have at it - but I'm not about to call bad/wrong fun on my players or anyone else's for playing things antithetical to my tastes. 5e, from the start, has been intended as the all-inclusive edition. Each group is encouraged to cater to their own tastes - it's far easier to disallow something than to force something into a system that hasn't been tested for it.</blockquote>
