[QUOTE="animesuperman, post: 252846, member: 5874"] I think this need to make a prestige class still does not solve the issue at hand. You have a problem with roleplaying in your group, there is no need to make a prestige class to solve that. You need to work with your players to get them into their role. My very first character was a paladin because I in fact wanted to play "Superman". A character who always went to uphold the highest ideals and work for the greater good, but not by letting the ends justify the means. being my first character I messed up on the code of ethics and I lost my paladinhood. It took me 4 months real time in which i couldnt level (in 2nd edition) working to get back my status. And from that point It set an example to what my job as a paladin was and how I needed to work towards it. Your problem with paladins needs to be delt witha DM's approach. If your player does not roleplay that then he has to atone and until then he's less than a real fighter. Its a severe punishment that is justified in the rules of the game. And it will truly force your player to understand what it means to be a champion of a diety. And if a player continues to be an idiot, allowing people to get tortured, not taking prisoners, not being chivalrous, take away his paladinhood permanently. Don't be afraid to set an example, and be strict the benefits of the class come with restrictions that need to be enforced. [/QUOTE]
