So what's the problem with restrictions, especially when it comes to the Paladin?

[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 6112813, member: 48965"] If that's how you choose to play a paladin then more power to you but that's one of numerous personalities a paladin could have. IMO, it's human nature to question things, and if every paladin were like the one you choose to play then no fallen paladins would ever exist... and we know that's not the case. Not sure how an in-game choice which may or may not result in my divine powers being taken away permanently or temporarily is in any way an out-of-game-way of playing...especially when it is for the most part centered around moral decisions... From the previous paragraph and this one I would say you're dis-satisfaction with the paladin may be because of the way you choose to approach the class... which is great if that's how you want to view and play a paladin, but it's by no means the only way to approach and play the class. How about an option C? How about there isn't a right answer, but instead you choose whether the power offered by the divine being and it's desired approach are worth your obedience and service? If it gave you the power to enforce its will and you choose not to... why wouldn't it take it's power away (and I find it hard to believe that beings on a divine level would not have a fail-safe in place for traitors.). Well there was the original, replace them with fighter levels rule... so effectiveness just becomes different. For a certain subset of players they do. Also we aren't talking about all consequences...just one. Or...they adhere to the code and accept the power until faced with a moral question which their code and personal beliefs don't answer in the same way. If,as you said above, the paladin believes himself always right and never questions the code... how do you explore this? You said nothing would make you question it... [/QUOTE]
