The main problem I had with that was the reticence of my players, since they all know they know the rules better than me, all they want is to catch me on something and tell me how I was wrong. Obviously, in a game, I make them shut up, but I wouldn’t create myself a situation where they could get over me.   You bring many interesting points here, but why I didn’t work on that much was the problem of him not casting anymore the spells he used to. What you’re saying is quite relevant concerning how he casts, how to explain his special abilities, but I didn’t find out yet what makes him unable to cast at the current time spells he used to. The Tainted Scholar’s taint concept, where yourself is used as an essence, did fit both RP wise and rules wise concerning this. It’s not a final choice, as I said, and in fact I would like a better understanding of what you’re saying, because it seems quite interesting yet not as complete as I would like to. It’s probably because I don’t understand, not because you’re not explaining well. That’s my bad.  Thinking about it, being an old Tainted Scholar doesn’t prevent him to cast spell again, he just has a strong roleplaying (or is it roleplay? How is it spelled in my sentence?) reason not to, which is backed by the rules. If I understood your statements correctly, he could cast with the restriction you suggest but wouldn’t because of pure roleplaying reasons. Sounds good, I like the concept and I’ll think about it. Or maybe didn’t I understand at all? That’s also possible.   I think that was fixed with the feats and the Detect Evil by his Paladin level(s). It’s pretty much identical to what you’re saying, but I like the variants. I also appreciate how you explain a little more how those work, it’s refreshing.    That will be done, thank you very much.    I was deeply thinking on Neutral Good, but how would you explain the Paladin level(s)? Would you create an other class as you suggested for Cleric?</blockquote>
