Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silveras" data-source="post: 1342789" data-attributes="member: 6271">That's a very modern viewpoint. In the medieval period, on which the Paladin is based, it was all about the soul. The situation in the mortal world was far secondary to the ability of each person to reach the afterlife properly. The condition of the soul was the over-riding concern for the devout. Modern situational ethics like "choosing the lesser of two evils" would be rejected as a trap -- it was accepted that any "lesser evil" done "for a good reason" invariably corrupted the "good end".Incidentally, you are correct about the Cleric being the holy warrior. The origin of the Cleric class (see the 1st edition Players' Handbook) is in the militant religious monastic orders of europe.</blockquote>
