This is just a general question I guess. Under most things that I have read or come across, I have not found it viable for elves to have a true “Paladin†class amongst their own Seldarine â€" save the new elven goddess presented in races of the wild.
The reason for this question is in regards to what I had read under the class section. I noticed that Corellon Larethian was listed as a deity that could be followed by a paladin and wanted to see what everyone’s take on this was as this has been an issue in the past, based on the elves general nature being more ‘chaotic’ than lawful as well as the gods path being that of Chaotic Good as well.
Is this a class that can be chosen amongst the elves for this specific deity?
I guess i should start off by saying how i always have viewed the elven "paladin" in my own eyes. The way i have seen the Paladin's amongst the elves as more of a "holy warrior" who's codes and honor were focused more on elven tradition while sticking to a more lawful stance. By leading this life style, they would uphold the laws and virtues of the elves while serving in the image of corellon.
I would call them more of a Holy Warrior as opposed to a paladin however as i would see their codes slightly different than that of a true paladin - but this is where i guess many have always argued the point that elven paladin's dont exist for this reason alone.
