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

[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6113720, member: 6670153"] I'd like to point out that a Druid, Favoured Soul, Cleric, and anyother divine classes or partial divine classes like Dread Necromancer could have thier powers pulled just as easily as a Paladin. Just replace broking oath with defying your deity and bam, bye bye powers. The Paladin just got more attention for it. Also in FR if an arcane caster pissed Mystra off enough she could deny him access to the weave and Shar could do the same with the Shadow Weave. I'm okay with this as long as its not over played. It needs to come with clear guidelines so it doesn't become a disaster or mistreatment of the Paladin player. I do agree Lawful Good can mean different things to different people, but a good rule of thumb is to look to a Paladin's God as they are the ultimate interrupter of code violations. So if a Paladin of Torm puts saving innocents over some archiac and forgotten law that would not be a violation of the code because Torm values duty above all. Tyr on the other hand is law first greater good second and so might be less forgiving. Also under 5e rules you can be a Lawful Good cavalier devoted to Chaotic Good God. So they maybe have a very different code to fallow and thier interuptation of violations maybe either more unpredictable or vastly more forgiving or even in some cases counter to the Cavalier's lawful nature.
