Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Elton" data-source="post: 1952367" data-attributes="member: 14486">This will depend on his religious code, personality traits, and passions. OF a D&D Paladin, they are the only class of characters I demand on a higher standard and enforce a bit of cross pollination.   I do this because I make my Paladins the same way. I take out my copy of Pendragon 4th Edition, open to Traits and Passions, and define my paladin according to that system. Then, I decide what sort of role he'd play in the party. If the party needs a Christian Knight type, then that is what I'll play. A romantic knight, a Chivalrous Knight, or even a paladin on Knight Errantry is something I would explore.   Fortunately, not many people want to go that way. They either simply do not understand the paladin, or they are disconnected with the mythos that surrounds the paladin. OF all the classes in D&D, the paladin is the one that is perhaps . . . "outdated."  Edit: About the sex, isn't it really strange that our culture worships sex yet is totally embarrassed to talk about it?  I have recently found the truth about this little activity, and it's a glorious truth.  It's too bad that no body deals with it.  "Cover the body because it's flawed."  "Cover the body because it's evil."  "Cover the body because it's sacred."  Sex is thought of as evil in our culture.  And while burning people, killing, maiming, and hurting is evil too, we accept it in roleplaying because that is part of the territory.  We don't accept in gaming because sex has no place in our own little territory.  However, what is so unusual is that this is a reflection of our culture.  If you do a game about the Greek Myths, then you have to talk about sex in your games because they were a feature of the Greek Myths.  Hercules bedded many women in his time, yeah he spread his seed around.  Yet he is the greco-Roman hero we all identify with.  When you venture in the Medieval Romance, sex also plays a part.  Playing the part of the Romantic Knight allows you to be romantic with the ladies and to woo them.  Even then, sex is treated as noble; as it was the goal of the Romantic Knight to bed his love and to experience physical conjugation as a comsummation of the highest virtue.  However, our culture had pushed sex off of it's pedestal and turned it into a dirty thing. People in our culture flirt with sex, worship sex, and serve themselves to sex but are embarrassed to talk about sex.   The truth is, sex was made possible to serve us.  Sex's purpose is to allow us to not only propagate, but to serve as the glue that cements two lovers together and to enoble us and make us better men and women.  But alas, this is not to be.</blockquote>
