I forgot...IMC, it was always the forces of Law and Good themselves that issued The Call to Paladins, rather than any particular god. As such, a Paladin may be dedicated to a particular god, but certainly is not required. Furthermore, a Paladin may at length find himself at odds with the church of his deity (or perhaps even the deity himself) without it necessarily impacting on his Paladinhood.One character concept that always fascinated me (but I never got to play, both because I very rarely get to play anyway, and because I wasn't able to find a DM who would allow it) is the "reluctant Paladin" - a character who has been issued The Call, is given all the powers of the the Paladin, and feels obliged to fulfil that role (because when the divine says "go", who are you to say "no"?), but really doesn't want to.I've always been fascinated by the concept of the Paladin, but only because of the alignment restrictions. I have absolutely no interest in playing a 4e Paladin, precisely because the restrictions have been removed and alignment has been made nigh-meaningless.</blockquote>
