[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 2555569, member: 34175"] My two cents Firstly - Bravo, it is very well written, too few people give characters depth now a days. However, no I would not let this character stand AS IS, with a minor tweek or two, I would be fine. I feel the drinking is fine, but to excess has a problem, it dulls the senses therefore making the imbiber less "fit for duty" - so drinking is ok, drunkeness, not so much. The prostitution is a chaotic act - wheather or not it is leagal isn't the issue, it is the randomness of the laison (even as a "regular"), it isn't the actual sex I would say no to, just the random "boinking" of whomever. What happens in the event of pregnancy? (I will stop with this thread as it borders to close to religion and politics (especially here in the states)) But the consequences of any action should be weighed and I don't see that here. As to the cynical view of his mission - right out! Though a realization of his fate is refreshing, the carrying on in the face of danger FOR A PURPOSE at the risk of his own life whould be key - the meat and drink of his existance. The futility and cynasism would be enough for most gods to strip him of power right then and there. (Of course penance would be needed to get them back.) But the character still works, but not as a Paladin, but as a fallen paladin (not a blackguard) just one who is no longer quite so lofty. Maybe a Paladin X/Fighter X who may not beleive in the fight anymore but does so simply because it's all he's ever known (ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die), which is quite a clever PC background. I think the character plan is great and if you don't mind, I would like to use this template as an NPC in my campaign for a "fallen" hero the party is destined to run into. [/QUOTE]
