Why do I have to be be one step next to my deity?

Why do I have to choose domains from my deity?

Why can't paladins be CN?

Why can't my Fighter cast 9thevel spells.

Any more parts of the game we ant to change while we are under the hood?

I'm all for fixing broken things, but complaining about an alignment restriction? People will complain about anything. I swear 80% on these boards would have designed a prefect role playifng game if they just had the time.

As someone who has never played a Paladin and has no interest in playing one ever regardless of alignment but still think they should not be alignment exclusive. I would like to stand as living proof you are wrong and by assuming that your assumption is write and then disregarding everyone's argument and thinking you can tarnish everyone with the same brush is not only wrong but also obnoxious.

....

So you're both wrongbadfun guilty and he is is also guilty of flatly ignoring people.

what am I wrong about?!?!?

I said "most" of the time.

Please explain to me why you want a "paladin" not tied to LG, without referencing mechanics?

you want a "divine warrior" play a martial cleric. you want a "champion of good" play a LG fighter, want Lay on Hands then take believer's hands and believer's boons. immunity to fear = chevalier, want non LG paladin play a gray one

BUT NO

you are specifically calling for a class that does what pAladin does without being LG. You want the mechanics without the ties to alignment. you are seeking an advantage or "removal of rp requirement" which is essentially an advantage.

Nobody is being badwrongfun or whatever the hell that is you are referencing. you and many like you, just want to bend the rules for an advantage and don't want to be called on it. and if you have no intention of playing a paladin, and never would, why post in the thread as much as you have

@HWalsh yeah man

6 pages of talk about alignment, character options, the history of "real paladins", various iterations of D&D, who gamed with Gary Gygax, etc just for some dude wanting a mechanical advantage.

ahahahahahahahah

these boards are funny

I'm of the opinion that, most of the time, when people want to alter rules, they are doing it to gain a mechanical advantage. This scenario seems to fit the bill. Dude could easily play a Gray Paladin or Chevalier, but since both are mechanically weaker than a standard Paladin, he starts asking for rules changes.

All that talk about freedom, describing his pc, and whatever else mumbo jumbo talk are just lame attempts to get the benefits of a paladin without being lawful good.

furthermore, not that anybody was asking, in all my years of gaming, I have found the majority of the "words of wisdom" on these boards to be wrong.

traps are easy, in-combat healing is worthless, rogues suck because xxx, wixards cant be stopped, etc. just a bunch of random people online theory crafting, very little of which, when the game starts and the dice start rolling hold up to be true

This whole set-up seems ridiculous. I'm all for moral hazards and such but killing kids is something I would never find acceptable or morally plausible. Forget that guest GM and just retcon the whole thing. Whoever ran that game was a sick individual.
