[QUOTE="Darkchylde, post: 248740, member: 5782"] I'm looking through Faiths and Pantheons and this is my take: 1. I would say he would be protective (defensive) but would also be very focused. I also think he would be merciful if mercy was asked for...he is after all trying to alleviate suffering. 2. He may be a pain in the butt in a party. Under the dogma section of Faiths and Pantheons (pg 31) it says "stick to a cause that is right, whatever the pain or peril. There is no shame in a meaningful death. Stand up to all tyrants, and allow no injustice to go unchallenged. Emphasize the spiritual nature of life over the existence of the material body." He would probably be so focused as to piss everyone else off and may take on a bit more than he can chew sometimes. A cleric would be a good companion for him, they could discuss spirituality all the time, even a cleric of a different good or neutral faith. 3. Ilmater seems to get along with other deities, however, if he found out another pc was dealing with an evil deity I think the paladin would request the person to convert. If the person continued worshiping the evil deity (and was not evil himself) then the paladin would distance himself from that person...leaving the party if the person didn't. If the person is evil...then some tail whooping is needed. Ilmater seems to be an opponent of tyranny so gods of strife and tyranny (ie Bane and Cyric) would definitely draw the ire of the paladin from the get go. 4. No the paladin doesn't have to have the same opinions, except for the major ones that brought him into the religion in the first place. I do think though that the paladin would try to develop those views, using his god as a "role model". These are all simply my thoughts for my favorite class. [/QUOTE]
