[QUOTE="empireofchaos, post: 6753485, member: 6800918"] Yeah, it was designed for a culturally-specific game in mind, but I think the animal companion variant would work in a variety of settings, and the holy fool should also be feasible in a W. European or Near Eastern setting. As far as the overlap with spellcasters - I guess if you make a spellcasting class, there are only so many templates to use. One might argue that what you have here is a sort of Sorcerer-Warlock hybrid, but then the Paladin is a Fighter - Cleric hybrid, too. The feel, and the relationship to magic powers, is pretty different. And if it's not going to be a spell-casting class, then it's going to be given lots of combat skills, which would completely wreck the flavor, to my mind. I had that out of my public library at one point, but didn't get around to watching it until I had to return it. I guess after that recommendation I'm going to have to get it out again.
