They wouldn ' t get it for long considering the speed and altitude they travel at . FM signals are directed horizontally to get maximum coverage . <| sep |> It ' s kind of unclear in the series . He ' s always referred to as Commander , but his provisional rank is two yellow and one black stripe which you ' d think would correspond to the two yellow and one black pip of a Lt .

Though I ' m sure you can see how putting the DM in the position of being your character ' s god can lead to some awkward situations if not done properly . Also , that ' s not necessarily true anymore , as there is no requirement in 5 e that Paladins follow a particular deity , only that they stick to the tenets of their Oath . Most Paladins do revere a particular deity , but the Oath gives them power , not their god . Also , if we look at probably the strictest Oath Devotion we can see that 5 e actually leaves a fair amount of wriggle room for the player . Honesty Don ' t lie or cheat . Let your word be your promise . Hard to ignore , no real loopholes . Courage Never fear to act , though caution is wise . Compassion Aid others , protect the weak , and punish those who threaten them . Show mercy to your foes , but temper it with wisdom . Honor Treat others with fairness , and let your honorable deeds be an example to them . Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm . Duty Be responsible for your actions and their consequences , protect those entrusted to your care , and obey those who have just authority over you . Basically a Paladin of Devotion is allowed to be cautious , can either execute or show mercy to enemies , doesn ' t have to do good at all costs , and only has to obey those who have a rightful authority over them . It leaves a lot more room for freedom of decision , as compared to the requirements of 3 . 5 and earlier editions , which led to the Lawful Stupid Paladins who had no real autonomy over their actions . Even the honesty clause could be occasionally ignored if the Paladin justifies it using the do as much good as possible clause . The harm caused by their lie could be seen as necessary to achieve something good .
