Message: <blockquote data-quote="nijineko" data-source="post: 6042168" data-attributes="member: 52240">the op description could be supported by the 3.x rules as is. the way the original paladin was described, it would not have worked, but in 3.x you have paladins of all four extreme alignments. the code of honor binding any given paladin will be dependent upon the entity or entities granting the powers to the paladin, and what the dm will allow to be such. therefore, it is already supported in theory.as for the moral and ethical implications, that will depend on what is defined as good and evil, and law and chaos for that matter, in each game universe. the bovd and boed are worthless in deciding on such a matter, and for just about anything to do with good or evil, so it will depend on the dm, who should make known what is defined as moral and ethical in their particular game universe. in my game universes, just by way of example, there are a number of entities that can grant power to others. a paladin such as described in the op could theoretically exist, depending on which entity they tied them self too. however, the entities in question who would allow or encourage this are not actually sources of ultimate good, and what sources of ultimate good that exist in my game universes would never accept such behavior due to how good is defined in my universes. moral purity and chastity outside of marriage, though within a faithful marriage they are just as welcome to start a family as any other mortal. such are a few of the rules of ultimate good. like many others have commented, my groups do not run towards details of a sexual nature. i would not permit such a degree of descriptiveness, and chances are that i would discourage making this the theme of a character. having that as part of the backstory and it being mentioned in passing on occasion as flavor for what happened during downtime might fall under my radar... depending.</blockquote>
