[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 2225651, member: 15651"] [b]Paladins[/b] According to [i] The Guide, [/i] Paladins are the prototypical "Knight in shining armor." Defenders of the weak and oppressed, these knights are usually holy warriors dedicated to some god or other form of "supreme being". These beings often grant their paladins special powers to help the weak and to fight evil. One of these powers is the ability to summon a special mount upon which the paladin may ride. Previous versions of [i] The Guide [/i] reported that these mounts were powerful and unusually intelligent steeds, but otherwise normal. Recently it was noted that these mounts had undergone an amazing transformation in which they can suddenly appear and disappear when needed, much like the [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Wizard's Familiar[/COLOR]. While this may seem to be a great advantage to many a paladin in terms of needing to feed, stable and clean up after his or her mount, for less experiences paladins it has become a bit of a problem, as the mounts also now appear to have developed the need to expire. One well documented instance of this occuring happened to Aramis, Knight of Poradas, whose steed vanished while in the midst of a full speed charge. When the tip of the suddenly airborne paladin struck the ground, Aramis was launched up and over the line of battle whereupon he was able to strike at the soft flank of his opponents. This maneuver has since been dubbed the Poradas Polevault. While paladins are supposed to be mighty and wise, many paladins suffer from a complex referred to as "Lawful Stupid." This complex often causes Paladins or [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2222850&postcount=2]Dungeon Masters[/URL] to create moral dilemmas where none actually exist. One last note from [i] The Guide, [/i] regarding Paladins: it seems that for reasons unknown, discussions about Paladins are often initiated by [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2223128&postcount=9]Trolls[/URL].
