[QUOTE="jgbrowning, post: 1507447, member: 5724"] I think the fact that paladins generate such rancor within gaming circles is enough to have a problem with them. No other class does this because no other class challanges what players think is morally right or wrong with case by case examples. Other classes spur heated debate, but that debate is usually more casual and less rancorous because people are talking about [i]the game[/i] as opposed to [i]what they believe is right and wrong[/i] in real life. Too many DMs and too many players with personal axes to grind about what is "good" and what isn't, about what is "allowed" and what "isn't," about what is "good roleplaying a paladin" and "poor roleplaying a paladin." I say we take off and nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Get rid of them and lets play the game as opposed to some weird quasi-morality play that happens as each GM and Player comes up with their own idea about what a paladin really is and what a paladin can and can't do. joe b.
