If someone doesn ' t really get into the roleplaying aspect of DD , I could see how they might view these restrictions as unfair . However , there are workarounds . If you ' re not an RP guy , but you want paladin mechanics , simply reflavor the class . Maybe your a warrior infused with positive energy from the astral plane , or a just some guy who drank a potion that have him super powers . Either way , you remove the paladin ' s mechanics from the associated stigma of oaths and falls . On the otherside of the coin , if you like RP , you should embrace the nature of the paladin as it offers fun and unique RP opportunities . <| sep |> Agreed , its just a load of swivel eyed lunacy as far as I am concerned , and these people like uBarryScottsCat claim that we ' re propagandised ? hahahaha . One day the circle jerk will explode .
