Paladins are sworn to uphold the laws of whatever society they reside in.

(If the society is completely evil, they will not reside there. If it is slightly corrupt, or redeemably crooked, Paladins may seek in varying ways (dependant on their deity) to correct the society.)

The point being: A Paladin, following their oaths, won't murder a Priest of Bane for refusing to convert.

Ugh, paladin discussions. :/

You obviously hate the server.

Cerberus

heh... I love this server. I'm just playing devil's advocate.
 
Ok, I concede on the paladin thing. I always forget that lawful good means lawful stupid and the paladin must let the evil doer free to be evil yet again...
 
How about we talk about kobold monks? Or Druids that could care less about the politics in any city?

As much as you try to turn this into an issue, it won't be possible. Kobolds are perfectly suited for monks, mainly because their are a lawful race, by alignment.

Druids ... Can they care less about politics now?

heh... I was "talked to" by a high ranking person of this server about about a kobold monk I once made. Was told it should have been an app because there is no such thing. (:twisted:;) devil's advocate again)

[shrugs] LE Kobold Monks, Of Serpent Guards Order, FTW!

i think he is a druid because his head is shaved and aerodynamic and he has sun glasses on because he spends a lot of time outdoors

Riddick was clearly a CE Ranger with FE: Humans and Monsters.

Fighter/Rogue. It is obvious that he knows how to fight, but remember that rogue isn't only the sneaky halfling lockpick. The class encompasses everything from diplomats, assassins, thugs, trapspringers and many other departures each with their own moral code. Sneak attack is not a knife in the ribcage while the person is distracted, it is knowing how to fight dirty and exploit the situation for maximum effect eg. the random headbutt. Most definately not a barb as he never works up into a "rage" and not a monk purely because of the lack of enlightened spiritualism.

my 3 cents.

I'm with you there ... He centrally rolled an intimidation there (rogue skill), at first, I'm not sure why, cuz he ended up kicking the red neck's arse anyway ... Maybe some taunting ...

Hmph, I can't find a clip that actually show's her saying it. But the woman warrior fighting Xena in this video is a paladin. Which is obvious if you see the entire episode and not just the preview. She actually beats Xena in their first fight encounter and in the preview the people on their knees in a row ("I want to forgive you and love you all as brothers.") have to convert within three days or face the paladins sword and die. And she (the paladin) is tough enough to beat Xena, so basically they are given the option of convert or die.
 
I know it's just a Xena episode, but the theory of a paladin saying convert or die does not necessarily have to be against their code...

TomBanana

Aren't Priests the ones responsible for converting? I don't believe Paladins are entitled to preaching.

Quote from: quote by Forgotten Realms Wiki
 
Few, if any paladins truly "choose" their career and becoming a paladin is more like answering a call to destiny. It is generally said that becoming a paladin is something that is either within one's nature or not and though an individual may reject the devine call that becons them, none can become a paladin that does not hear the call.
... .. .
Ardent paladins feel it is their sacred duty to represent the wrath of their god, much like an avenger. This extends to abondoning some of the caution and careful defense of most paladins and of varying paladin codes, throwing themselves into the fray with righteous zeal, in order to punish the heathens.
Can you say Jihad? ;)
