First, Erastil DOES have paladins, right?

Second, is playing them up as fairly merciful, compassionate people who like to work with their hands accurate? "Called" farmers and tradespeople? How about multi-classing them as rangers?

Yup; Erastil does indeed have paladins. They're not the "knight in shining armor" type, for the most part, though; more like rugged down-to-earth paladins. Most of them are probably "self-taught" even.


Man, what is it, Change your Avatar Day? ;)

Anyway, I would imagine that Erastil's paladins would be very similar to Chauntea's in the Forgotten Realms, people from simple backgrounds that get called to protect the rural people and their towns from the marauders that can sweep in and devastate the farmlands and the villages.

Note: this is one of Timespike's aliases. I'm the OP.

So, like this guy, (click on the profile) then? Because if this is what you were talking about, I'm happy to have totally gotten it right!

Yeah. Didn't you get the memo? (Some new ones to choose from went up recently) ;)

Eh, I look more like mine every day, so I'll stick with it for a while . . . ;)

Awesome!

Incidentally, once again, a fan asks a (fairly trivial) question, a senior employee answers less than an hour later. Try finding even ONE example of that on WotC's boards.
