Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 7250701">I disagree.  The Paladin "club" wasn't opened up to Dragonborn.  Dragonborn were written to pass the "human test" to get into the club.  The Paladin still carries very strong humanocentric tones, and always has, tones that don't just resonate in game, but tones that resonate with our real world history.  The in-game Paladin is basically what the classical Judeo-Christian Knights always wished they could be and what we dreamed they were.  (The Cleric too, but we're talking about Paladins right now.)By writing Dragonbown as a ancient, deeply religious empire, the Dragonborn were essentially designed to fit into the peg-hole already made for human paladins.  There are a wide variety of variant classes (in older editions) for elf paladins, dwarf paladins where they explicitly laid out that these races version of a paladin is somewhat different from the traditional human paladin.  Dragonborn do not have that.  Dragonborn were designed to the Paladins.  Paladins were designed to be Human.  So Dragonborn are designed to be Human Paladins.</blockquote>
