I played the Anti-Paladin in my party for about 2 hours last night. I hit only one glitch. At one point, toward the end of the battle with the Shadow Dragon, the Anti-Paladin turned red. I couldn't get him to turn green. He was still in my party, but red. I waited forever, and he never turned back. I couldn't sleep or rest, or anything. I finally dire charmed him and took my party to an area they could sleep in. When everyone woke up, he was red again. I think his morale failed and he reverted back to his true color. I couldn't Ctrl-Q or anything. I was left with having to reload from my last save. Unfortunately the last save was after the dragon was dead, and Kivan (I added him to the party for fun) had been dead beyond resurrection. I chose to lose Kivan rather than the Anti-Paladin.

By the way, the Anti-Paladin had a cool line when you dismiss him from the group. Something like, "You might regret this. I might just go on and finish the game before you."

BTW the name of the character is Anti-Paladin and the class is Paladin. Alignment is Chaotic Evil. I didn't bother changing the name as I thought the use of the Unholy Reaver might be tied to the name rather than the class. I haven't tried naming a Paladin "Anti-Paladin" and then pick up the Unholy Reaver -- gotta try that one later.

I also noted that the Unholy Reaver (+5 two-handed sword) couldn't touch the dragon ("Weapon Ineffective" message). Switching to the Daystar resulted in lots of damage. Otherwise the Unholy Reaver is awesome and the Anti-Paladin is one of the most effective tanks I've ever played.
