Actually, I always think of LG paladins as a bit of the extreme case of Lawful Good. Always trying to keep their word, always following orders, always doing their orderly path to doing the right thing. Thus, I'm simply thinking of how a CG paladin would be. He would be just as extreme, but would be very anti-establishment and very much going his own way. Still a little hard to keep him from going to CN or CE in behavior, though; you need to keep in mind that you are anti-establishment because the establishment is a bad thing that puts people down, and that you are trying to stand up for the little guy and make his or her lot better.

Ilmater is a LG diety, otherwise I would be more in line with him. Selune is a CG diety, so she would be better, but I have not seen any temples to her. The only ones I have seen are Lathander, Talos, Helm, Ilmater, Waukeen, and Umberlee (I'm sure I've probably missed one or two). Thus, out of those choices, the only one he would get along with is Lathander.

Originally posted by Faceman: IWell, a chaotic character in general is a very much out of control righteous avenger. Like Paul Kersey (Death Wish) or "Dirty Harry" he DOES care for the law but only if it suits his beliefs. I wouldn't reject holy weapons and churches so much. After all these avenger-types tend to think that they are godsend (Boondock Saints anyone?) and I wouldn't refuse the stronghold but rather feel free to screw up the missions if they do not suit your alignment (if somebody insults you for example). Overall I like your "Robin Hood" approach to the character however. Kick those nobles' posteriors!

Actually, he would avoid the stronghold like the plague. The three gods that sponsor the order are Torm (god of duty and honor), Tyr (god of law and justice), and Helm (god of guardianship). They are probably the three most lawful dieties in the realm, thus WAY out of his line of thinking. The entire Order preaches duty and order; my guy would just tell them respectfully that he was not interested, and leave. In fact, he would not do certain quests for certain of the temples:

For example, he would do the Unseeing Eye for the Temple of Helm for a reward, but why would he ever help them make a statue for their god?

Now, the holy weapons might not be a bad idea. However, they still are associated with the lawful brand of good, and thus would probably be avoided. There are some nice good-only weapons that come later that he would gladly use (especially in ToB).
