[QUOTE="Carpe DM, post: 2185233, member: 677"] Absolutely -- I'd not only allow it, I'd love it. Here are some other riffs on the "non-standard" paladin that I've really enjoyed seeing in play: 1. The Paladin of Love: why on earth would a paladin of a goddess of love be a prude and a sissy? We had one person play a temple "priestess" (there's another term) in the old fertile crescent tradition. Gives the immunity to disease and the cure abilities a completely new meaning. 2. The Unwilling: This one I really enjoyed. The guy *wanted* to do all sorts of bad stuff -- he was a regular person like us all. The problem was that his god talked to him. Literally. And told him not to. It was hilarious. He'd start oggling some barmaid and ....stop. He'd roll his eyes at the ceiling and say "oh, you CAN'T be SERIOUS!" 3. The decent man: This guy refused to admit he was anything special. Just some guy with a sword. He wasn't devoted to a god in particular. He just loved his wife and kids very, very much. And was willing to fight the evil that threatened the world just to keep them safe. My favorite paladin-of-a-cause concept. [/QUOTE]
