Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torm" data-source="post: 3438771" data-attributes="member: 12706">Since you have the chance to build your Paladin from the ground up:I would LOVE to see the Paladin class reworked so that the Paladin gains his powers from inner determination to work toward certain causes that are the core of what makes humanity (or elvenkind, etc) worthwhile - True Love, Honor, Charity, Devotion, Redemption, and so forth. And if he serves a deity, it is because that deity happens to serve his causes, not the other way around - or because of his own dedication to a Devotion he has given to that deity.And I agree with the article that FireLance brought forward that says that the key attribute of a Paladin is the ability to Sacrifice of himself to serve his causes.And in answer to your other question: no, I don't believe in subjective morality. People know right and wrong, but they can become confused by all sorts of influences when they make their choices. Which is why there is room for Forgiveness - people are human, and they make mistakes, and it is Charitable to Forgive. And in turn, to hope for Forgiveness in your own inevitable blunders.So speaks Torm, God of Paladins.</blockquote>
