Message: <blockquote data-quote="JamesonCourage" data-source="post: 6039991" data-attributes="member: 6668292">Okay, I would've commented sooner, but I just finished reading all 82 pages (83, counting this one).My answer: he's not a Paladin. I'm not even convinced he's Lawful (he seems more Neutral to me), and he basically lost "act with honor" as of kicking someone in the groin in a fight. Some other acts are pretty much borderline (trapping the temple, setting the ogre up for what is basically assassination), but I'd think about it a lot before stripping someone's powers away (if I was still playing 3.5). He's also not really meeting "respect legitimate authority" enough in my book (how he treats the other Paladin), even if the author did write him as basically infallible within the church's religion. That has no bearing on treating others with respect, in my book.To sum up: I think he's Neutral, not Lawful; the groin kick certainly isn't honorable; I don't think he shows enough respect to legitimate authority; and he's borderline on other honor issues.He's a fine character concept to play (though I was greatly turned off by the Mary Sue status he was given in the writing, but probably only because I'm not rooting for him as a working concept). I'd allow him as a Neutral Good Cleric (again, if I still played 3.5). But a Paladin? No. So not only would he not be allowed in my game, he also wouldn't be a Paladin.Just my thoughts. Feel free to disagree, obviously. It's a fun thread, though.
