[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 5939550, member: 6669048"] What is the "feel" of a paladin then? Why does the Moradin cleric from Next not "feel" like a paladin? And please give me something other than code of conduct or knight in shining armor. The former is backstory/roleplay based and the latter is appearance based. Any fighter can take on a code of conduct while every cleric should, and anyone wearing heavy armor can put a coat of polish on it. Tell me what it is that a paladin can do or a paladin is that is more than just a melee-centered cleric or roleplay choices. And for the record, a Blackguard of Sloth would be pretty cool to roleplay. You yourself would have to give up being able to indulge in your sin in order to spread that sin to others. Convincing them that inactivity or "wait and see" would be a better course of action than actually doing something. Talking someone into non-involvement or staying complacent. Same with a Blackguard of Greed convincing others that their own needs and wants are more important than others. That would be much more fun to me than a Blackguard of Wrath or Pride. [/QUOTE]
