also, forgotten realms Paladins don't worship all three gods, Tyr, Torm, and Helm, they usually revere one of them as their patron, and respect the others, there are also paladins of Ilmater or any other lawful good diety, or in some rare cases, such as Helm, Lawful Neutral gods

What I meant by serving these gods is that the Paladin's traits resemble the gods mentioned and respect them. If you see the Paladin Stronghold it has all three gods that I have mentioned in it. That's what I mean. Anyway, anyone wanting to know about the Paladin idealistics should read their description in the game as nit he manual and when you create a character. I like Paladins anyway, I can't see the point of a evil or neutral Paladin
