[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7746135, member: 92239"] Which is why alignment is important. If paladins can only be LG, then you have maybe three gods that can be patrons of them and they all want demons gone and for the most part work in concert. Complication eliminated. If the players and DM's want paladins to be complicated, then as an expression of their idiosyncracies, they will be. It's not a game problem. Personally, I've always had one monolithic faith in my games for LG that works at times against polytheism and at other times with it. Paladins come from that monolithic faith structure and no other. It's one of the reasons its ascending. My players tend to be a broad range of religions in real life and it rankles the preferences of some of those who ascribe to pagan thought. Then I hear it from the fundamentalists that they would really rather not have polytheism in the game and I refer them to the pagans. We're all friends so it works out. Point is, religion is complicated generally. Who you have running your game or creating your game will determine whether it affects you; moreso than the rules. For every player that wants holy warriors of a non LG variety, you're going to have one that doesn't. Be well KB [/QUOTE]
