Message: <blockquote data-quote="RealAlHazred" data-source="post: 9545832" data-attributes="member: 25818">I don't know if I agree with this. There were seven alternate paladins in that article, to complement the Lawful Good paladin and the Chaotic Evil anti-paladin (which is the probable actual worst name of the bunch):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Lawful Evil Illrigger.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Neutral Good Myrikhan seem like sort-of paladin/rangers, opposed by the Arrikhan.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Chaotic Good Garath seem like fancy templars, mostly protecting pilgrims.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Lawful Neutral Lyan is a cleric/paladin.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The True Neutral Paramander is a thief/paladin fighting for the Balance.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Chaotic Neutral Fantra are nomadic templars.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Neutral Evil Arrikhan seem like sort-of anti-paladin/anti-rangers, opposed by the Myrikhan.</li> </ul>I wanted to like these paladins, but I never did. People I know who liked the article mostly enjoyed the power-ups the various orders had. I want flavor for my new classes, and these guys seemed like just collections of power-ups with little lore to add color to a setting. There was a decent dynamic between the Myrikhan and Arrikhan, but the rest of the classes had poorly-defined ethoi. Plus, some of the alignment decisions made no sense; there was a variant Parmander, the Paramandyr, who was hell-bent on destroying all of alignments other than Neutral, which is not IMO a True Neutral perspective. But then, I've never been a fan of alignments and never use them in my games, so I never used these paladins.But I like the name "Parmander" for a class.</blockquote>
