Hello all. I've never been a fan of the strict 'lawful good only' paladin style. I really liked it back in 3.5 when unearthed arcana came out with alternate alignment paladins. Having Pathfinder paladins so changed, these were far out-dated. So, here's my take alternate paladins.
Paladin of Justice:

Paladin of Freedom:

Paladin of Slaughter:

I apologize for needing to download them, as I didn't realize until after that how hard it would be to copy-paste into the forum with how they were laid out ^^' (I may try to do just that later anyway)
As you'll notice, I didn't change much from one to the other, especially in the case of Tyranny and Slaughter. If you have any suggestions for improvement, I'd be eager to hear.
I look forward to the feedback :)
It looks pretty good, doubt I'd use it, but I can pass it on to my test group see what they think
Awesome, thanks!
I think you should do a Neutral Good Paladin write up. NG always made more sense to me than LG as a Paladin alignment, anyway, as NG is basically doing whatever is the most good in any given situation.
One of these days I may get around to updating the Dragon #310 alternate paladins. You might check those out as well. The only alignment I don't know of a write-up for is NE.
I'll take a look right away. Thanks!

Well rather than making a paladin variant for each of the alignments, what I wanted to do was create paladins for each of the extremes on the alignment chart, and relax the alignment requirements from there. As it is, a NG character could either go for being a paladin of justice or freedom. The world I run is Ebberon-like with the divine casters alignment restrictions removed, and deities being distant, so I wanted paladins to be less restrictive as well.
Thanks for the input!

I could see a "paladin-esque" class work for every alignment... except NE.
I've always played the paladin with the option of LG, LN, LE. Made the most sense for my campaign. Just apply a few minor tweaks to the abilities. Chaotic paladins always felt strange to me, like lawful barbarians.
Sidenote: Has anyone ever changed the monks alignment requirement to any neutral rather than any lawful? I've been playing that way for years and I'm curious what others think of it.

Well, I am only necroing this post because I was searching for the updated alternate paladins to have in my campaign. And I found the answer for this post. Dragon #312 has write-ups for the despot (lawful evil), corrupter (neutral evil) and anti-paladin (chaotic evil) paladins.
