[QUOTE="Westwind, post: 312787, member: 3241"] I suspect the DM might go the chaotic route, but the answer your 2 questions... 1. No. 2. No. There is a huge BUT to both of these answers though. The CE church has already been defined as an ememy of the church by teh Archprelate. Those who contribute to their cause knowingly are found to be as guilty as the church. Both carry the stain of sin. Thankfully, church law when it comes to martial law is pretty direct. There aren't a lot of options to chose from. And he would be considered "ordained" by Roman Catholic canon, he can legally and rightfully lead mass (eqv.) and grant sacraments (again, eqv.). In terms of church heirarchy, there isn't much distinction between Paladins and Clerics. Paladins tend to die a lot though :D so Cleric outnumber them by the time they get to administration age (this Paladin is middle-aged under the 3e aging system). Note that not all Clerics and Paladins are "ordained" in this way, it was more a decision on the player's part to roleplay church politics and such more often. [/QUOTE]
