[QUOTE="Endur, post: 5861699, member: 3346"] Alignment is in some ways a separate issue from Paladins. And yet in some ways it is tied tightly to Paladins, as the champion of LG. I never really saw the Anti-Paladin or Blackguard as a champion of CE; instead, I saw the Anti-Paladin or Blackguard as an opponent for the Paladin (Sherlock Holmes vs. Moriarty, etc.). The Anti-Paladin was explicitly NPC only. And Blackguards are bascially NPC only, as few D&D campaigns use evil characters for the long term (lots of one shot evil games though). Could I play a paladin in a non-alignment game? sure. Would it change how I played the Paladin? No it wouldn't. Could I live with WOTC removing paladin alignment restrictions? sure. Do I think Paladins still need a code? Yes, even without alignment restrictions, I think Paladins need a code. [/QUOTE]
