My friend plays a half-elven paladin.

He constantly buys hemp and beer.

Am I the only one that finds something wrong with this?

Sentow, Maybe

God: Thou hast despoiled thine own body with the grass from the field. Now shall thou be cast out of the grace of god.

Paladin: But it's medicinal!

[EDIT] Now that was one magic typo.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Too many people play paladins for the power, and have no idea how to roleplay a religious zealot. That's why I never play a priest or paladin when I join a game.

Paladins aren't automatically zealots (though it helps). I prefer to see Paladins as being very Superman-like in ideals, motivation, and methodology. There is a wrong and a right, and for Paladins (unlike many people) the distinction is clear, and they walk the path of Right unfailingly. Unfortunately the powers enstilled in a Paladin often draw those with...less than honorable intent. Everyone wants to have the Super, but not many want to be the Man. Or have the strength of character to do it even if they do want to be the Man.

And clerics have the power of their convictions, though the convictions often vary with deity.

He could be a Rastafarian Paladin.

Eh, Paladins do good things. It's in a Paladin's nature to do good. How he goes about doing good, however, is up to him to decide.

So, going by that logic, Superman and Spawn can be considered Paladins.

Superman and Spawn are NOT EVEN on the fucking same page. Don't key them into the same slot.

Spawn would be more like an Anti-Paladin type Character gone good. Or Nuetral.

Paladins = Lawful Good

Superman = Lawful Good

Spawn = hardly Lawful Good

Therefore, Spawn does not = paladin

Thank you KaL.

Spawn falls into the category of a warrior. He does have a code, but it's generally selfish, and it's not entirely rigid. He'd be a Chaotic Good warrior with an attitude problem, probably, and one step away (oddly enough) from Neutral Evil (Punisher, blow everyone away).

The DM doenst allow him to get high off the Hemp, right?

Hemp (as in Hemp rope) and the seeds that you smoke to get high are two different parts of the marijuana plant (i think, not exactly a pot expert). The only way he could get high is purely through power of suggestion. It would have to be all psycho-somatic.

Sheesh. Next thing you're gonna say, you're gonna be shocked and aghast at the fact that there are priests that molest altar boys.

What the hell are you talking about? That isn't logic, it's stupid.

Everybody knows that paladins have an ENTIRELY RIGID code that they must ALWAYS FOLLOW. Or they are NO LONGER A PALADIN. Just a drunk, gimped fighter. It's not up to them how they go about "doing good."

Sorry, though. Try harder next time.
