[QUOTE="JesterOC, post: 4114228, member: 42841"] I don’t see how the paladin example has anything to do with G/S but rather G/N. I think they have already established that there will be Good and Evil Paladin just like good and evil angels. And even if they did not paladins can be played quite differently from each other. I had one player years ago while playing 3rd edition who played a paladin that made everyone shudder. The guy was ruthless. Once when a group of Orcs surrendered he cut off their thumbs off of their right hands so they could wield weapons against ‘civilized folk’. He also was not very protecting of the party, he viewed himself as the most important hero in the party and kept all of the heals for himself. He also was the most reckless, always assuming his god would protect him as long as he acted brave. All of these things were decided by the player. He was not being forced to act that way, and when other players played the paladin they did not act like him at all. There are very few things in D&D 3E that forces a player to act a certain way, in 4E it looks like there are even less. JesterOC [/QUOTE]
