Redeemers of Nethys: Possible?

[Leliel the 12th]

First of all, I don't have the 2E book, so I don't know if it's explicitly forbidden. But given how there's an NG paladin (or more accurately, a paladin is the Lawful iteration of a Good class of holy knights in big armor), but I love off-beat characters, and given how Old Two-Face still has NG as an allowed alignment going by his Archives, I was wondering if he might have some decidedly more martial goody-two-shoes followers.

And if so, how they'd function in daily life going by how his personal tenets are "if magic, then use."

[Rysky]

He has NG allowed as an Alignment so technically yes.

[Albatoonoe]

I could see them functioning as teachers and spreaders of magic, wanting to enrich the world by getting more magic out there.

[Albatoonoe]

Also, I bet they wrest secret knowledge from ne'er-do-wells.

[Mechalibur]

Nethys has 2 different aspects: the protective and the destructive halves. I suppose a redeemer of Nethys would focus on the former.

I imagine it's still relatively rare to see a redeemer of Nethys compared to redeemers of good aligned deities.

[Set]

Those dead magic areas near Alkenstar must be the sort of thing that really grinds a Redeemer of Nethys' gears.

Protecting spellcasters (and societies / organizations of same, such as the Arcanamirium, or Magaambyan Academy, or Arclords, in particular, but perhaps even the Ciphermages or Korvosan Academy students and staff and grounds) would seem a logical outgrowth for such a group, functioning similar to the Warders of the Aes Sedai, from the Wheel of Time books.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

Well...this make Nethys a LOT more interesting to me now!

[Bramble Knight]

Hmm... Speculative until we have the archetype, but Redeemer of Nethys into Magaambyan Magic Warrior seems intriguing ^^

[Saint Bernard]

Created a redeemer of Nethys in Hero Labs. Looks interesting.

[OmegaZ]

A NG follower of Nethys (champion, cleric, wizard, or otherwise) could see magic as a transcendent force for good. Literally use magic to make the world a better place. The enlightenment-seeking, benevolent side of irl Hermeticism fits a similar theme (also the protection/destruction is from the Hermetic concept of solve et coagula: dissolve and reform)

[Xenocrat]

Isn’t the anathema kind of a problem for a champion of Nethys? Magic over mundane.

[Rysky]

Well they went Champion over Fighter so...

[Archpaladin Zousha]

Not to mention Champion as a multiclass archetype synergizes VERY well with any caster looking for a little more OOMPH in the martial department! ELDRITCH KNIGHTS HOOOOO!!!

Those know-nothing bumpkins? Why?

[Terevalis Unctio of House Mysti]

I am following this with much interest.

[Tervola]

This class has focus spells. Blade ally gives magic to a mundane item, while Shield Ally has a spirit helping. I would think the class enough counts as magical.

Really looking to try this with Staff Acrobat in Extinction Curse.

[Evan Tarlton]

One of the interesting things about a redeemer of Nethys is that you can put them up against a desecrator of Nethys, and not have it cause a problem with the deity in question.

[PossibleCabbage]

A Redeemer of Nethys is a great fit for a "free archetype" game (like the Strength of Thousands AP) since you can grab spells with an archetype and still have your champion feats for champion stuff.
