[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 7919246, member: 4881"] So, let's say I wanted to create a character who was chosen by the god Krom to be their champion. I want them to be a paladin ruleswise. I want to slavishly devote myself to everything the god stands for. But I also want to say that a farmer went to bed one night and woke up the next day possessed with the divine spirit of Krom and that is the source of all his paladiny powers. No training. No paladin school. Literally a momentary transformation of thought and knowledge. Are you saying I am now asking to play a "Homebrew" character because my origin story doesn't match the basic description of paladins in the PHB? Are you further saying that if I do want to play a character with this background I can't use the rules for paladins because "that's how paladins work, not possessed divine champions"? I literally could pick ANY class and use this same origin story "I am possessed by Gord, the trickster god, now I'm a rogue." [/QUOTE]
