Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 1844195" data-attributes="member: 2209">Ok so how many paladins are there in a typical D&D world?Are they so rare that everyone has heard of them as individuals (Joan of Arc, Sir Galahad, Roland) or in the magical default of a standard D&D world where the gods power their followers are they more common (say all the templars, hospitallars, etc.).In greyhawk there is a LG country devoted to a good god, the Theocracy of the pale. Is is unreasonable for them to have a knightly order of paladins? If there are only a few individual paladins in the world then yes, the orders would be filled with LG or not fighters. However it is not unreasonable for there to be enough of them to fill out a few knightly orders in the world.If paladins are more common than a few individuals, if they are common enough to have a knightly order of them, then it is reasonable for their outwardly displayed common powers to be known and associated with the term paladin.It all depends on how many you place in your world.</blockquote>
