> I'm not so sure I like this part, it might just make the empowerment process even longer, at a time when a lot of people have problems with it already The quests would not be started at the time of empowerment. Basically you'd go to your imm, say, "I wish to be your paladin, and take your light into the depths of the underdark, purifying all evil which hides there". Then you'd be empowered (if they liked you), and it would be your lifes quest to destroy all evil in the underdark. Chances are you'd have a little imm interaction while doing it, since they all know what you're supposed to be doing. > parry and shield block on lvl 1? kind of a nit picky thing, but maybe shield block a little later That's the way they are now.. I didn't see any reason to change it, but really wouldn't care when they get it. > The Subdue and Avenger skills/spells (don't recall which you thought of first) I'm a big fan of.. I think that besides just giving Paladins that little bit of an offensive edge that everyone seems to feel they need, these are skills that could be able to make RP that much better.. your holy fire spell, that would destroy cloth and paper and such.. maybe instead give it a small chance of melting evil objects.. this would make more sense to me then burning up paper/cloth in an odd sort of way I like your idea for holy fire better than mine. It would make more sense that it would burn up evil rather than frail objects, since it is holy fire after all. ...Rome...
