[QUOTE="Fighter1, post: 2786282, member: 39381"] After seeing this thread and thinking about it - I think that the paladin is the most pigeon holed class out there - he is the target of discrimination everywhere in the gaming world! We gotta get him a lawyer! Where is the EEOCDAP (Equal Opportunity Commission for the discrimination against Paladins)? Jonny Cochran where are ya!? If I have a LG fighter he can still do most anything he wants as long as it does not involve harming innocents. Why should the pali be and different? Why should he be pigeon holed into being the "super good guy " in each and every aspect of his life. Heroes in so many stories are troubled, bothered and self destructive at times. I don't see where the Paladin did anything wrong - he took on some ladies but did he hurt them? Where they to young? Slaves? NO! Your Paladin is an actual person with wants, needs and desires of his own. And think about this: in pre-christian times things such as sex were looked upon VERY differently then they are now. Look at the Romans & Greeks. A paladin in ancient Rome might even be looked upons strangly for not indulging...he would have "earned it". Now if your Paladin was of a god that forbid certain things or he had taken an oath of sobreity and celebacy then that would be different (as he would eb breaking trust or an oath). It appears he has not - thus he is a normal guy who fights evil and defends the weak and law where ever he goes; he just likes to have a little party afterwards. [/QUOTE]
