In my defense I did lend give up my magic sword once so you wouldn't have to give up yours. I got it back though. <br />Now that we've gotten that out of the way...<br />I did define the Cleric as the Holy Warrior in e-mails and posts, and such it was when OD&D came out. The slide away from the Templar image of the Cleric (as it was originally presented) into some sort of strange priest sort of coincided with the Paladin's degrading into a rabid psycho Holy Warrior vice the ideal of European knighthood.

Ya'll really raked me over the coals. I didn't play a paladin again after that. I did use the hell out of the Complete Fighters HB and the Psionicist HB. I loved that class. Modern equivalents suck. Oh yeah, paladins. I wouldn't mind taking another stab at it. I agree that the European knight of greater moral character than others IS the paladin. Didn't you define the Cleric as the Holy Warrior type?Eddie Von Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179965372694198977noreply@blogger.com
