yawn.
someone lock this.
yes it sucks to keep it as LG.
when all the examples of law that is claimed as to why is the origin of its name. which was a government worker of some sorts. Which is not a good reason at all as anyone can tell you is that government can be chaotic as they come.
other examples that get used as to why are the knights of the round table and Charlemagne's paladins.
both of which are a drinking straw made from cotton.
Charlemagne's were not much more than thugs.
Not all of Arthur's knights would be considered PAladin like so....
and the most popular used involves the late Gygax and his reasons as to why hte paladin should remain LG. In any event if he was still even alive he would tell you that beyond his own table, it is not his game anymore.
also:
the reasons why it should be opened up to any good:
its description of its abilities can come from any of the Celestial planes. also if the paladin will chose Good over than Law most of the time then why keep it LG only.
and some in the community are willing to die on this hill to keep it LG too.
the bottom line:
they could still make it any good after the playtest and they could have a champion paladin like class( with some of the paladin powers{ smite evil, divine grace, and a modified wings feat]) that is opened to all alignments.
my final remark:
PF 2.0 will more than likely keep and lose fans and regardless on how the paladin or anyone's favorite class ends up. The rules are all questionable at this point. but thats what the playtest is for
Now for the Glory of the 3 Celestial Planes, someone please lock this thread.... or just stop necromancy on it
