Message: <blockquote data-quote="WizarDru" data-source="post: 1154029" data-attributes="member: 151">Those who sit the highest have the furthest to fall, and when paladins fall, they fall hard.  There's a reason that a blackguard can convert his paladin levels into Blackguard levels...it implies the heroic idealized knight turning irrevocably to evil.     From the SRD: "Blackguards who possess levels of Paladin (that is to say, are now ex-paladins) gain extra abilities the more levels of paladin they possess. Those who have tasted the light of goodness and justice and turned away make the foulest villains." You may not believe that paladins are corruptible, or even corruptible that often, but they DO fall.  I know you've read Sepulchrave's Story hour, so you see the tightrope that a Paladin walks. And I said they couldn't, not that they shouldn't try.  Don Quixote was a Paladin, even if he was delusional.  We all should be so delusional. Tilting at windmills is the very essence of the Paladin.</blockquote>
