[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4942777, member: 19675"] Fair enough... Of course, the whole OT/NT divide- and our discussion of it, kind of begs the question "What makes a Paladin a Paladin?" On the one hand, there is always a Code. They are all bound by ethical strictures. However, the same could be said of Clerics, Druids and Monks- only the details differ. I think the main difference- the key to the heart of the class- is [I]The Call.[/I] People may seek out the monastic way. They may be attracted to The Old Faith. They may be forced into the priesthood because they're the 4th son of a poor Baron. But almost without exception, every Paladin has been directly called by their god to serve. That has to alter your worldview at a fundamental level. Clerics, Druids and everyone else may talk to gods, but gods talk to Paladins. What I meant by having an out is something like what you're talking about. If I'm going to screw you for your PCs alignment, I'm not going to do so [I]long term.[/I] Your PC's redemption will be close at hand...assuming, of course, you actually want it. If you warm to the idea of roleplaying a fallen Paladin, more power to you! YEAH! [/QUOTE]
