Was Paladin a Paladin?

[DrDeth]

I mean, after you "wire paladin" was the black clad gunslinger actually a Paladin?

We just haven't had enough paladin threads recently, so...

[Scavion]

There should be a subforums called, "Paladin and Alignment Threads."

this so much this.. it could be filled with reasons why paladins always fall and how you should never play one as they are the forsaken god child more unwanted than loki.

While we're on this topic, was Saladin a paladin?

No, but then again, not all of the Paladins of Charlemagne were Paladins either. King Chuck couldn't read, so he never got the part about alignment requirements.

I suggested an alignment forum months back and I got ripped apart for it and told it was not necessary.

To the original question:

Yes he was, conceptually if not in terms of powers. He's a pretty good example of how to do a Paladin mercenary, actually.

I always found the Marvel universe Paladin to be kind of a poke in the eye, as a long term D&D player.

But hey, Marvel's 'Wizard' is a techno-dude who invented gravity defying flight boots and stuff, and 'Rogue' doesn't have move silently, pick pockets *or* hide in shadows...

And see, there's actually a serious answer, even. Thanks!

Honestly, Saladin was closer to a paladin than any of the Christian Crusader leaders in my opinion, which is slightly ironic.

I disagree if only in for the 1st crusade. The 1st Crusade WAS face value. after that.... yeah. But no, There WERE lots of knights that weren't there for -just- the other stuff. Though few (other than 1st) were there for JUST the my holiness is better than your holiness.

I'd be more than happy to have such a forum on this board if I could flag my new posts lists to ignore everything from it.

Yeah, I meant to have specified Third Crusade Christian leaders specifically. My bad :P

Did he really say that there haven't been enough paladin alignment threads recently?

Saladin had some 'moments'. He initially refused to promis terms of quarter for the Frankish inhabitants of Jerusalem. Unfortunately for him, Balian of Ibelin promised to destroy every muslim structure and kill the citys muslim inhabitants if Saladin continued to opt for the 'no quarter' path. Reminded me of the Cold War and MAD.

If a muslim paladin is delivered by caesarean section, is he a Caesar Saladin?

Of course. And if he's delivered naturally but turns out to be epileptic the he's a Seizure Saladin.

Would Elizabeth Taylor's cleavage be involved and could her cleavage be a paladin, too?

Sadly, no. Cleave doesn't work that way.

This leads necessarily to great cleavage.
