Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Sigil" data-source="post: 1164939" data-attributes="member: 2013">Here we disagree.  A paladin is not about KILLING evil, IMO - a paladin is about "ridding the world of evil."  Note my post above where I point out that Smiting Evil is good, but Getting Evil To Repent is better... and the reason paladins get divine protection is because they always have to give evil the chance to repent first (and thus give evil the chance at "first blow").  Then their smite, holy avenger, and other abilities kick in to turn them into tactical nukes.So, I offer you a chance to repent.  If you refuse, then you get the business end of my sword. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />--The SigilP.S. Yelling, "PREPARE TO RECEIVE YOUR PURIFICATION!" before you wade into battle with the same aplomb as a barbarian does not quite do it for me.  It makes the paladin uninteresting, flat, and a "Paladinbot."  A paladin should be much more than a barbarian with a battle cry that happens to invoke deity.</blockquote>
