Message: <blockquote data-quote="frankthedm" data-source="post: 2970012" data-attributes="member: 1164">The first thing I do for paladins is that I don’t drag modern morals into D&D. A Paladin is expected to show mercy to good and neutral foes, but they are also tasked with punishing the wicked. A paladin being merciful can stay his blade against a being only faintly evil, in the hopes of redeeming the lowly being, but to stay his blade against the truly wicked is a dereliction of his gods’ given duty.House rules that help paladins indirectlyEvil Characters are not allowed: see also Disruptive PCsDisruptive PCs: Player Characters’ behavior should not be detrimental to the party. If a character you are playing behaves in such a manner, please change their ways before the PC becomes an NPC on a permanent basis. Dwarf:   May take penalty to DEX instead of CHA. Half orc: You may take your +2 ability score bonus to STR, DEX, or CON. You may take your -2 ability score penalties to 2 different mental stats. Detect Evil: Aura strength is based on [mis]deeds for mortals rather than level or hit die. A truly horrible low level commoner can make some fiends jealous. Paladin actual changes: Mount must be sought out and is not a summon. Replacing the mount takes the 3.0 Year and a day from death or dismissal. No numeric penalty.Using the Detect evil ability is as a supernatural ability, rather than as the spell. No components. While active it causes the Paladin’s eyes to glow with white angelic light. A paladin is expected to interpret aura strength as Urge to kill. Faint: Proving your mercy would be for the best, but let not the wicked benefit from such.Moderate: Enough foul deeds committed that a Merciful end is more than deserved.Strong: Their path is chosen, Destroy without delay, but minimize the disorder that might occur in delivering justice.Overwhelming: Cut this fiend down now! You need heed no law of the mortal world for a greater one had decreed the fiend’s fate.Gain Guarded soul[Ex.] your soul cannot be killed through death effects or being fed upon by soul consuming entities, your body may die but your eternal reward is assured.
