[QUOTE="Simplicity, post: 1176442, member: 1496"] The book looks quite nice to me so far. There's a lot of stuff about redeeming evil characters and evil magic items. What does a paladin do with an evil magic item that they find? They can't use it... They can't sell it unless they want some other evil creature to put their hands on it. Interesting stuff. The book also deals with holy vows. Vows of poverty, of non-violence, of abstinence, etc. They actually look to make new ideas for characters viable concepts. Yes, you could actually play a paladin who refuses any equipment, and gives away EVERYTHING. And I don't think you'd do so badly in the game. In the paladin meets the two succubi example, I thought it was dumb at first too. But then I thought about it. The real question is: if such creatures were evil incarnate, could they truly experience love? If their love was real, then that would indicate that they might not be as evil as they seem. Perhaps, if they could feel true love for each other, they might be redeemed. If an angel can fall, who's to say a devil can't rise. As for whether the picture is "pandering", the fact that the paladin is a rather unattractive female half-orc makes that argument a little more difficult to make. [/QUOTE]
