I understand that the paladin was created the be the romantic, dragon-slaying, god-fearing warrior... but considering that there are PLENTY of neutral and evil gods in the FR pantheon, why shouldn't you be able to create a neutral or even an evil paladin? You know, somebody who fights for his/her gods ideals with the same fervor that a Lawful Good paladin would? I think this would be a really fun RP experience.

There is evil paladin.. Anti-paladin.. you can get that kit in TDD.

The Anti Paladin kit is also a part from Westley Weimer's wonderful Tactics MOD.

AND the Valen Mod, which is Westly Weimer's creation as well.

You can download the Valen mod and only install the Anti Paladin stuff if you want, so it is a must-have in my opinion.

I want to play a neutral paladin, not an evil one. Helm is a neutral god, I wanna be a Helm pally!

I frankly think inquisitors should be lawful neutral myself, since they lose all their "good" powers.

The closest thing to a neutral pladin, is sadly (for some) Anomen

u'll guyz will hav a go at me i no buuuuuuuuut:
i think Paladins cant b evil. If ne1 has read the D&D 2nd edition rules and seen how they describle paladins u would know. it more or less says paladins r a cross between fighters and clerics, who strive to rid the world of EVIL and hope those of GOOD and r in need.
so in my opinion, i dont think u should get evil paladins. there is also a picture of a paladin fighting thru hell and he is burning bright light of goodness and u hav all these evil creatures attacking him.
this is just my opinion, though, and every1 is entitled to their opinion. :D

wot u mean that lose their good powers???

The paladin is considered the holy of holies - but he works not for a god, more for society in general. He does what he feels is best overall for society to function properly and keep as many people as possible happy.
But, I personally think a Paladin should be limited to *Neutral* Good. A Paladin does what he feels is best for society as a whole, whereas a Lawful Good person would simply uphold every law. A Paladin should have no bias toward law or chaos, but should work for society.
Laws don`t matter to a Paladin. He doesn`t do his utmost to uphold them, but by the same token he doesn`t go around breaking them for that very sake. If it is forbidden to dance with a Widow, but she is depressed in a corner, the Paladin will dance with her to make her happy. He believes that some laws, but not all, have a purpose; so, he acts as such.

Basically, I agree with the Quest for Glory series of games. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>
