If you want an evil version of a paladin well then Black Guard or Fallen Paladin is the choise for you.

But having a neutral or evil paladin is per difinition NOT possible!!!


For the record, 'holy' translates directly as 'separated' and means roughly 'that which is set apart from worldly things'. In a fantasy world such as the Realms where all the spectra of alignment have representative deities, one *could* be 'holy for Bane'. Not trying to be snippy, but as Wooly said, it isgood to be precise in use of language.

It is still my firm oppinion that the word Paladin is linked to being good aligned.

But what about the Paladins of Fzoul???

Just messin' with ya.

With 4e rules you can easily tweak the class to be more appropriate for an evil god's unholy servant by changing the flavor of the powers.
