Non-good paladin


Dragon Magazine General Discussion

Dark Archive

In my future campaign, one of my players would like to play a paladin. The problem is, that he chose devotion to a god, that isn't normally worshipped by classic paladins.
If i remember correctly, there's been an article in Dragon about non-good paladins, but i can't find the issue. Damn, we need an index...:)
I only found the anti-paladin article from Dragon #312, but this doesn't help me, 'cause the character shouldn't be evil.
Can anybody help me out?

No sweat. You're looking for Dragon Issue #310. It features an article ("Champions of the Divine" by James Jacobs, pages 46-54) for a "paladin" for each alignment (excluding the evil paladins of #312):

LG - Paladin
NG - Sentinal
CG - Avenger
LN - Enforcer
N - Incarnate
CN - Anarch

And for completion's sake, #312 ("Blackguards" also by James Jacobson, pages 18-26) features the following "paladins":

LE - Despot
NE - Corruptor
CE - Anti-Paladin

Hope this is the help you're looking for...

...and I'd forgotten that friggin' aggrevating Sci-Fi Bookclub card that splits up the great blackguard pic. Grrrrr!!!!!

Thank you, Chris, this is exactly the issue i've been looking for.
You spared me some hours of flippin' through back-issues.
The higher the pile of Dragon-issues grows, the more i'm losing the overlook on its content.

As for an index of articles, I find DragonDex to be quite useful.


Now I feel old... I thought, I know that article, and then realized I was thinking of an issue in the early 100s (106 maybe) that had a similar article for 1st edition.

The only reason I could readily pull that info up is that I took issues #310-#312 and hung them in a binder (using those handy magazine holder things) so I could have the alternate class info in one place when rolling up characters. I keep meaning to take a box of Dragons to Kinkos to photocopy all the useful stuff to stick in a binder. Right now my "system" of Post-Its on the covers is working (started doing that when I needed to pull up Flaws articles) but I'd rather have everything I need in one "Players Options" binder.
