A paladin can't worship a chaotic god, so I guess they would act non-existentially.

A Paladin would not worship a "depraved sex god" like Slaanesh.

A Paladin would worship a fertility deity, or a deity devoted to love. There would be no Paladin built around sex, they would instead be a Paladin devoted around things that *just so happen* to include sex.

>paladin of a god
Paladins are powered entirely by their extreme dedication to their code/alignment. They don't get power directly from any deity.

You seem to have stumbled across mistaking a meme for truth.
Slaanesh is not a 'depraved god', Slaanesh is 'god of excess'.

Nothing is stopping you from playing a hippy who forces 'free love' on everyone, it could be an interesting arc for a villain who turns to Slaanesh. But that 'hippy free love' won't stay recognizable for long once it does, slipping into the territory of Shub-Niggurath and your magical realm.
If you really want to play as the Paladin of a Love god, why not consider Mi Amore Cadenza ?

I said nothing of the Paladin not worshiping the deity because they're not lawful.

I'm saying a Paladin couldn't worship Slaanesh because their portfolio is incompatible with a Paladin.

Paladins are about things like love or passion or fertility, not birthing horrific rape-monsters or carving out your eyes because it's a new sensation.

>>50217387
By existing only in your magical realm, where it belongs.

>>50217426
A paladin of a fertility deity would be fun to play. Blessing pregnant mothers so their children aren't stillborn, helping till the land for a bountiful harvest, praying for rain during droughts. You could play it a bit like Johnny Appleseed, or maybe an industrialist trying to introduce modern agriculture to the more isolated parts of the world.

>>50217387
I would like to see this kind of Paladin coming along paladins or other super strict folk that have tenets of abstinence.

And here we see just how thoroughly entrenched the 'fantasy Europe' ideals are.

DnD Paladins have about as much to do with Roland as Akodo Toturi has to do with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Exactly, too many people see "Goddess of fertility" and assume it's all about the wide-hipped women getting fucked pregnant by handsome hunks, which is of course an *aspect* of a fertility deity but hardly the focus. A Fertility Paladin would be more focused on helping couples get pregnant and making the crops grow than getting someone (possibly themselves) pregnant.

Heck, odds are the Paladin *has* someone at home for that express purpose.

Protecting those who follow their gods way mostly. Like they'd go around smiting or reeducating people who punish or demean others that they find offensively indecent.
Beyond that they'd probably "spread the word of god", which in this case would be introducing everyone they could to the twisted desire they've been hiding from themselves.

Eh, I could see a fertility goddess being okay with it in cases where the baby is probably stillborn anyway and the mother's life is in danger if she has it, meaning no more kids later.

Granted, that'd be for cases where you can't find a cleric to fix all that.

>>50217700

We're talking about Lawful Good Paladins here, what you said is not very Lawful Good.

Besides, the loss of a potential child is sad but not smite-worthy, what's unforgivable is the loss of a womb, or the loss of a man's junk, or more importantly (as is the case with all fertility deities) the destruction of a farmland.

Fertility deities loved babies but they loved fields of grain more. They can and often did tolerate abortions but they did not tolerate the loss of arable land.

You know, he probably treats the girls better than the average slaver.

A goddess of Love needs a dude with a sword the same way a harvest god needs a solider, aka they don't.

Love and fertility don't need a military arm because their own purpose for existence doesn't require military might.

Everyone loves, everyone has sex, it's not like there is some comic force trying to oppose love... anywhere.

The only people that could, maybe, have opposition to a love deity is something like a succubi and really the paladin of Bahamut could dispatch that shit easy.

Make sure you tell that to the bandits and highwaymen that after they take their tithe of your harvest and rape your wife for the fifth time. Or Nuckelavee after he rots your crops and blights your horses. Or the pagan inquisitors after they geld and torture the gay out of your femboy lover Piedro, faggot that you are.

Just because they're deities of love and harvest doesn't mean they're fucking pussies.

At best any Love god is going to grant you boons to charisma so that you can fuck the sheep baggers daughter behind the tavern.

Well yes that's in ideal. But in many D&D worlds they do have interest in having followers. And not protecting them may lead to unpleasant things. Like church crumbling on itself because there is no support from population. And then goddess looks around and there is no one who even gives a single fuck about her.

I know I was shitposting, but it doesn't take a linguist to figure out that I was talking about why deities would protect their interests with their holy warriors. Everything I described is an example of a hostile force taking advantage of the products of love and/or harvest, with the point being they are something that is worth protecting.

>At best (insert something dumb here about gods)
Your imagination is shallow if this is the extent of your thinking.

>doesn't fall in their prevue
It's purview, and there's no reason it couldn't. Plenty of gods historically had multiple domains or associations with things other than their main domain, like Baal, Freyja, or Cronus. And even if they don't have other domains, if paladins are a thing in their setting, why would they not employ them to protect their work?

They would behave like classical/ethical hedonists actually were supposed to act, and not the sputtering retards the Renaissance and modern culture envisions hedonists as

Or even better, an actual Epicurean

Which has nothing to do with being a fucking foodie

>>50217387
Let's try.

First, the obstacles

In medieval times, there were more than a few reasons NOT to go all "free love" with everyone.

A) Contraception wasn't exactly effective or even available for the masses.
So if you are a brave paladin preaching free love, except to be pregnant most of the time.


B) Mariages were an public affair of business and politics as much as of private lovely feelings.
There were the cement of society.
Even for peasants, marrying the daughter of a specific vilain was a way to get some land in the family, along with the goodwill of your in-laws.
Everyone was happy :
The bride's mother knew her little girl would have a roof above her head and a strong oaf to provide food on the table
The bride's father got another son to help him manage his lands and beasts when he would get too old.
The groom's father got future grandchildren and that means his name would be carried on.
The groom's mother got an additionnal help in the kitchen and, eventually, she got another son to take care of her when her husband would die.
And of course, the couple got to fuck like rabbits for a few months while being a lot more free and having their own private space rather than sharing a room with six brothers and sisters.

But for the marriage to have any worth, the man had to be sure (or at least passably convinced) that the children of his wife were also his children.
If said wife was having sex, she would get pregnant eventually (baring few obvious exceptions...). And if she was known for sleeping around, that would cast a serious doubt about who the father of her offspring was.
Which in turn would pose some serious inheritance problems and could result in bloody feuds.
Nobody wants that so the women had to be monogamous or at least be subtle if they weren't.

No, that's the difference between clerics and paladins.

>>50218566
>>50218567
>>50217387
Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, founded around 307 BC. Epicurus was an atomic materialist, following in the steps of Democritus. His materialism led him to a general attack on superstition and divine intervention. Following Aristippus—about whom very little is known—Epicurus believed that what he called "pleasure" was the greatest good, but that the way to attain such pleasure was to live modestly, to gain knowledge of the workings of the world, and to limit one's desires. This would lead one to attain a state of tranquility (ataraxia) and freedom from fear as well as an absence of bodily pain (aponia). The combination of these two states constitutes happiness in its highest form. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism insofar as it declares pleasure to be its sole intrinsic goal, the concept that the absence of pain and fear constitutes the greatest pleasure, and its advocacy of a simple life, make it very different from "hedonism" as it is colloquially understood.

>>50218426
But this is love we are talking about, a primal human emotion that everyone experiences, every chucklefuck on the planet would do anything they could to help them in love. Even if that god/goddess takes a different face the primal force they are attached to is the same. Every love deity is indirectly connected with one another.

Paladins are a military order that comes together under the banner of a martial deity, they aren't just some chucklefuck who put on armor and declared themselves the champion of some random god.

In what world would a love god be considered a martial deity?

Like I could see someone getting boons from a love god because they fight for someone they love but I have a harder time imagining a serious group describing little hearts in their armor.

Plus if I don't restrict the kinds of deities that people can be paladins of then someone is inevitably going to play the death paladin.

>>50218567
C) Most of the population lived in hamlets.
That means that if you went "free love", your immediate potential sexual partners were either relatives or close neighbours.
The former could be an issue if any offspring came out of it. First because the inheritance line would be messed up. Second because on long term, you would end up with much more retards than excepted. And that's not good if you need to work together to survive from one winter to the next.

The latter were supposed to live with you, as in not only next door but also cooperating for the harvests and various taskes before winter.
While some people might completely agree with the "free love" spirit, there's rarely something as genuine with some kind of feeling growing... and that means, eventually, competition, jealousy and such.
There was already a lot of these things inside small villages without the whole "everyone fucks everyone" so imagine how tense it would be.

D) Abortions were a thing but these were usually dangerous for the mother.
If your paladin is preaching free love, she may not care about disturbing the social peace of the village but, as mentionned in A, she'll get pregnant... which will put a slight pause to her adventuring career.
If she wish to end her pregnancy, this might as well kill her as it might kill the baby.
That's a lot of risk for a few one-night-stands...
And while the paladin herself might not mind, most women won't want to take the risk... and therefor won't sleep around because childbirth itself is dangerous enough but if you got to kill the little bastards every odd moon, that makes for a very short life expectancy.

Most of the things under B could very well be applied today, but aren't. Like it or not, this is mostly because the welfare state has taken over the duties men once had.

pretty much the only good thing the book of exalted deeds did was give us a proper god of sex
shes chaotic good though so not much help here.

i honestly dont see a paladin devoting themselves to any sort of sex god they would certaintly pay respect to them at times but focusing on them would probably be rather rare.

although i was never big on the idea of palidans being of a good having a preferred god maybe but not total focus on that god

>Depraved
>de·praved (dĭ-prāvd′)
>adj.
>Morally corrupt; perverted.

A paladin of a morally corrupt and perverted god wouldn't really act like any kind of paladin. If you still can't stop getting off to the idea I recommend going for a game of 'Black Tokyo' which might cater to your needs, no questions asked about the internal logic of such a character, as everyone at the tabel are there under the mutual understanding that the game is nothing but an excuse for fetish shit.

On the off chance that you are actually interested in playing a character that combines a sex-positive approach with the tenets of paladins as presented in D&D, I would recommend asking some questions about what defines this god. 'Sex all the time' doesn't really say much. Why is the god sex positive? Maybe it's a pleasure deity, a fertility god as many have pointed out, or a god focused on controlling your own sexuality as part of being a stable and morally good person.
The last mentioned might teach safe sex, consent and boundaries, unravel trafficking rings and kill/arrest sexual predators. Look at gods like Frej (pic related) for a sexy fertility god. Isis, the Egyptian goddess, might make a good sex-positive god of womanhood. She certainly was very popular among women in the Roman Empire.

>We're talking about Lawful Good Paladins here, what you said is not very Lawful Good.
Heavenquads notwithstanding, you're wrong. Word of Gygax says Lawful Good encompasses killing orc children because they're monsters, it definitely also includes killing abortionists. The idea that it's even remotely okay to have an abortion is totally modern.

>>50218620

I mean, I'm pretty obviously oversimplifying, but you can see how people would think this was asinine.

>>50218604
E) Women like to have the monopoly on their man's sexual life FOR GOOD REASONS.

Ask your gf how she feels about free love.
If she says she thinks it's great, bring some context :
How would she feel about it if :
- You were married together
- You had children together
- You had no means of contraception
- You had no means of abortion
- You had no cure for STDs
- You were the only one with a real job
- That job made barely enough to afford a roof above your head and food.

Chances are she would say free love is an abomination.

It might not be as strong today but back then, a woman's social value was greatly linked to her children... or rather to her husband's children.
If she couldn't have children, she would become a burden ("because, bitch, your pies and pussy ain't that special that I'm willing to feed you everyday")
If her children were not her husband's children, the poor guy might felt a bit used, here... and she would become both a burden and an embarassement.
Accidents happen but, most likely, the man would just cast her out and take a mistress. Because better have bastards who have at least SOME claim on the land.
So by having a (mostly) faithfull man, whom only children are HER children, she makes sure she isn't sent back to (now old) daddy with a handfull of additional mouths to feed.
Your woman ain't mad at you because you fuck a whore (well, she might but that's for other reasons).
She's mad at you because you might eventually prefer the whore to her... and that's dangerous for her social position. And if there are kids involved, it's worse.

So, yeah, as long as they don't have at least one healthy kid above age of 10 with clear parentage, most women in a middle age setting won't sleep around for fun if they depend on their husband for food and shelter.
And even so, they will likely stay faithful (or at least pretend to be) because if they go free love, so does their husband and that's an open door for being replaced.

The fact that it is a primal human emotion doesn't mean that this certain god will continue to exist. Some god of love will be. But one that neglects his duties and followers will lose his powers and the mantle will drift to someone more worthy of this station.

>Plus if I don't restrict the kinds of deities that people can be paladins of then someone is inevitably going to play the death paladin.
If the god of death is not evil I don't see a problem with that. They will travel the world to bring down those undead creatures who defy death and punish necromancers.

F) Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Not as well-known back then as they are today but, since the dawn of time, people have known that fucking a unknown woman who claimed to have had A LOT of sex with A LOT of different people was a BAD idea.
Sure, you could take your chances a few times but, unless you are a soldier who plan on having a short, unmarried life anyway, you avoid it.

Because back then, curing it was hard. And expensive. And rarely healthy for you.
So you don't sleep around.

Which doesn't solve the problem if your wife/husband sleeps around because, now, she/he can just give to you what you tried very hard to avoid getting from others !!

I said women had good reasons to not like when their men go sleeping around.
There's a practical good reason : they don't want to get a putrid cunt as a result of their husband plowing too many bitches !!

Chances to get an STD in a small hamlet are low, even with the occasional affairs here and there.
And when someone get something because his/her relevant someone got that same something from someone else, the tale travels fast and nobody fuck those three... or those four, if patient zero was married too.

Now add free love in the picture :
Every traveler has a go at every young beauty of the village but also has to lick every old crone of said village.
After a few villages and towns, said travelers could as well display a banner with the symbol of Nurgle on it !!

>>50218749

That's as far as I can see for major societal obstacles.
For personal ones, if your paladin is a bit brainless, it's limited to pregnancy, kids and STDs.

Pregnancy can be solved through abortion but, as said, not safe. But you are an adventurer so you can be magically healed so who cares ?
Also, you could just play a dude and make a ton of single mothers...

Kids happens if pregnancy hasn't be dealt with as suggested above. You got the choice to foster them somewhere or to have them tag along. While they are cute, they don't do marvel for sneaking into a dungeon when babies.
But they are weak as fuck so expect the problem to solve itself if you are irresponsible enough.

Finally, STDs... and magic healing.
Sure, your average peasant will have crotchrot forever but you ? Once you reach a certain level, it's one casting away to disapear until the next disease-ridden partner you meet.

You could also worship both Slaanesh and Nurgle, spreading more than words.

>all I'm saying
>not mentioning that you were saying harvest gods had no interests to protect either

Anyways, there's plenty of things a god of love could employ paladins for. Let's say an empire takes over some place where courtship is dictated by said love god's commandments and instates their own, which go against said love god's principles. That's a good reason to employ paladins. Or maybe some orcs come in from the steppes and kidnap their women, thus spoiling their relationships. If I were the love god, I'd have my paladins go in and exterminate the greenskins.

Or let's say I'm an even more dubious god of love and have my paladins orchestrate events so the king of one land makes off with the queen of another, spurring war between the two nations as an act of protecting these royals' love. You know, a bit like what Aphrodite did for Paris by manipulating the powers that be to hook him up with Helen of Troy in The Iliad and The Odyssey.

tl;dr Depends on the setting.

The Book of Erotic Fantasy has a section for sex deities and their followers.

>>50219336
The mission would be a bit... limited, no ?
What use do you have to defend and spread sex with a holy warrior ?

>>50219336
Here is the problem with the situation:

>depraved love god like Slaanesh
Depraved gods hide behind notions of "sex releases stress" to hide their true colors.
A depraved love god wants you to go from orgy to orgy until your loins are destroyed, until your brain is hardwired to demand you have sex until you die and treat the mere aspect of not satisfying your sexual need with the same withdrawal a heroin junkie reacts when he can't get his shot. Then the rapes happen.

So no, there can't be anything positive about a "depraved" love deity, for excess sends you straight to the deep end.

>>50217407
Isn't a paladin just a warrior in service to a god? Surely all gods want representation, and possibly someone to defend their attributes?

Paladins of the fertility deities become more physically exaggerated in their masculinity or femininity as they progress in level.

The deities themselves are a god and goddess, constantly going at it.

>>50218586
So, love deity always has to suck off some war god when their worshippers need a protector? Wouldn't it be easier to just have their own protectors.

>>50220004
Depends on the edition.

In editions before fourth edition, they're the chosen champion of a Good god. In fourth edition, they're the chosen champion of a god of any alignment. In fifth edition, they're a champion of the cause of righteousness and their powers come from their "commitment to justice."

So pretty much, the only edition where you could be a paladin of a Slaanesh-esque deity is fourth edition. In other editions, you'd have to be an anti-paladin or blackguard or just a fighter or something.

>So essentially a druid with plate armor?
Not quite, although there is thematic similarity. Druids are generally focused on maintaining balance of nature, rather than serving a specific god (they likely worship a deity associated with nature, but in the same way a wizard likely worships a deity associated with magic rather than in the way of a cleric or paladin who is all about serving a deity). Paladins on the other hand are holy warriors who carry out their god's will and protect their followers.

Also while nature and fertility have pretty strong connection for obvious reasons (although really it's more of a connection between nature and life, with fertility being a specific aspect of life), there is a thematic difference here. Namely, the paladin idea mentioned would be serving a deity associated with fertility in the context of agriculture, childbirth, and other thing related to civilisation. Druids serve nature, and those things are often actually in conflict. Cutting down forests in order to ger more farmland to feed your kingdom's population would be seen as a good thing by a deity associated with agriculture, but druids likely wouldn't like it because replacing forests with farmland would go against their agenda of preserving nature.

Assuming we're not using D&D or Charlemagne's knights as inspiration here, maybe play up being a literal Knight of the Palace?

The specific god probably shouldn't matter as much as their dedication to upholding the sanctity and civic roles of the politically-important debauchery they defend. Odds are very good they'd be barred from participation to prevent conflicts of interest.

Depravity probably wouldn't be the central thing in this model. Instead this would be about building prestige for your power block and/or building alliances with others.

>a big orphanage in the city advocating free love
no matter which way you turn it, I cannot - CANNOT - see that end well.

if we disregard the obvious thing of child-molestation bound to happen, there is the fact that sooner or later the Orphans will start fucking - both eachother and others. Some will be able to care for their children, other won't, so you'll have more orphans and bastards, who in turn do more things of "free love" and it just cycles over and over, going worse with every turn!
and that's just accounting the ones that actually end up in the orphanage. Sooner or later, they will be so filled that they could not take more children in, resulting in more homeless kids, assuming they live long enough for that.

The only way it might end better would be if they are made soldiers, slaves or eunuchs, but then you'll have a big question about it being the city of free love anymore.

Isn't that literally how the Kelemvor, the god of death in 3.5 Forgotten Realms, worked? He didn't have paladins because in 3.5 only lawful good gods could have them, and he was lawful neutral, but otherwise he fit the bill.
The previous death god was a colossal asshole, but Kelemvor was purely neutral "everything dies eventually because that's how the world works" god, who was more concerned about making sure souls go to their proper afterlives and than about killing everybody. He even wanted to originally tear down the Wall of the Faithless his predecessor had built, feeling it was an unjust system, but had to leave it in place since removing it would have fucked up the status quo way too much. He also hated necromancers because they were fucking with his domain and enslaving spirits of the dead to keep them from getting to their proper afterlives.

>>50218509
I'd think a druid's concept of fertility deity would be more "Shub-Niggurath" (the intrepertion as a cosmic embodiment of life/fertility) than "goddess of farming and family". Druids are all about wild nature. I can't imagine most of them being particularly fond of agriculture (it's effectively taking nature and altering it to suit the needs of civilisation; I can see a druid reacting to domesticated animals in much the same way your average paladin reacts to undead).
I'd kind of like to play a druid worshiping not-Shub-Niggurath, actually. Not an evil druid, necessary, but one who revers the concept of life/nature/fertility in its most primal form. Nature is many good things, but isn't bound by what you'd consider morality. That is a purely human diversion for the actual rules the world runs on, which would be what he's interested in upholding.

You seem to have a misconception about the nature of worship in a pantheistic religion.

While a town might claim a specific patron deity, people don't only worship Hera, Zeus, Poseidon, etc, unless they are part of the priesthood or a very one dimensional person (like a homeless sailor who doesn't gamble, fight, or fuck).

The farming village getting it's shit pushed in isn't going to go to the altar of the harvest god to seek help with the bandits, they are going to seek a blessing at the altar of their god of War.

So the harvest king doesn't need paladins unless his portfolio includes war, strength, protection, etc.

That works in a setting where gods are more metaphysical and form a distinct pantheon, but that usually isn't the case in D&D. Most smaller towns and villages will have a single temple to a specific god, and people are going to look at that god for guidance. There's the expectation there that all gods will seek to protect their flock, even if they are allied with other gods.

That's part of why Clerics of any domain still get armor and weapon skills. Any god knows that combat is a strong possibility and would seek to arm their followers against those who are against the faith. This could logically be extended to having Paladin's dedicated to their cause.

The code as of fertility doesn't just tell their priests to fuck off and ask the god of war for help when their farms are under attack by goblins.

Of course every transformation comes with extra pleasure sensitivity, don't want the fucktoys to NOT enjoy the depravity of their partners, unless that's the fetish.

Slaanesh isn't really a love god.

Slaanesh's domain, as far as love was concerned, would probably fall more into things like jealousy, sexual desire, possessiveness, etc. IE the excessive and deranged elements of love. Though perhaps also the inspirational elements and desire to please, but still to the point of excess (stalking, drawing them 20 times a day, chopping your ear off to impress them, etc).

With the caveat of
>chaotic paladin

I'd say play up a god of envy, jealousy and protectiveness. Being a selfish guardian - "Nobody is going to harm you, because you belong to me."

Yandere paladin, I guess.

>>50222840
consider suicide

>>50222985
>>50222779
>>50217387
The whole point of Slaanesh is that he uses sexual desire and depraved emotion to corrupt followers and bring them into his worship, which in turn fuels his power. He's not a "love god", he uses sexual excess to gain followers. Hell, half the people who worship him don't even engage in sexual acts or depravity. After their corruption they become bog standard Chaos forces who just try to murder or corrupt anything outside of their ranks.

>>50222997
not really but still retarded though

>>50219407
Rance is a fighter tho

>>50223023
He uses any kind of excessive behavior. A quest to become the best swordsman in the land, be renowned as the most proliferate scholar, gain enough wealth to swim in, etc. Sexual pleasure is an easy entry-level thing to indulge in, but there's plenty of ways.

In a D&D-style world, I imagine that there would be a lot more warriors seeking perfection in their craft than whores trying to get laid.

I don't think a god of sex would want or need a devoted holy warrior.

Paladins only fit gods who have combat-related agendas. Destroying evil, upholding justice; or in the opposite side, conquering the world.

>>50222372

You could have some fun with that, if she doesn't care about the circumstances she could even not have a problem with rape. That could lead to the god and their worshippers being disliked by the general populace even if the church doesn't explicitly condone rape.

As for the empowerment of sex, I know it's terrible but Corruption of Champions has a good idea there with how it implements demons. They're more like an intelligent grey goo scenario. They can breed with anything, gestate and grow quickly and worst of all are corruptive in every sense of the word. Those who resist them could very well end up either serving them or becoming them.

>>50217387
D&D pallies wouldn't be able to, now what you're looking for is a Cleric.

>>50220211
>In editions before fourth edition, they're the chosen champion of a Good god.

Earlier edition paladins didn't need a deity. They were just paragons of righteousness. The honorable knight in shining armor warrior archetype as different from the usual man-at-arms Fighter and woodsy/monster hunting Ranger.

But people kept getting confused because they got a handful of divine/priest spells and in D&D, spells are either divine or arcane. There's no "just magical" spells.

And in Forgotten Realms, EVERYONE had to choose a patron deity or else their soul got destroyed. It also required Paladins and Druids to worship deities. And as in many other cases of D&D fluff, FR took over many peoples' common perceptions of core stuff.

The previous PHB's make it clear that Paladins don't have to worship a deity. They just have to be committed to LG alignment. There were semi-official variants for other alignments too. But people kept insisting they were warriors of the gods/church.

So 4E just went with it as part of their re-fluffing stuff to make it more accessible to people unfamiliar with all the quirks of D&D fluff.

Since 5e was going back to classic D&D fluff, and 4e had pretty much killed off alignment and introduced all kinds of Paladins, 5e took a little of both by making Paladins simply champions of an ideal.

No alignment restrictions. No god restrictions. Just an ideal to live by.

But there were still a couple holdouts insiting that D&D Paladins could only ever be LG and anything else was "Not muh D&D".

>>50220584
>So if we strangle it right when it's pushed out, it wasn't ever alive, yet ?

If you lived back then, yeah.

There's a significant amount of grills who are into the sexual fantasy of rape. I've heard numbers around about one in three are into it, but I don't have any source to back it up with.
A lot more than one in three in places like f-list though.

>>50219246

I met my wife playing D&D. One time I ran a campaign where everyone quit except for her and one chick that we ended up having threesomes with.

But she refused to hang out outside of the context of D&D sessions, after which we'd fool around.

When the campaign ended, she disappeared and we never saw or heard from her again.

It was really weird.

>>50224635
I'd be curious what the ratio is compared to males.

>>50224503
While there's nothing mechanically stopping you, the theme of 5th editon paladins doesn't work very well for chaotic characters (and makes a lot more sense for lawful than neutral ones). The paladin's specialisations (their equivalent to druid circles, wizard schools, or cleric domains) are oaths: a code the paladin is sworn to uphold and live by. These include your standard "protect the innocent, help those in need, smite evil" paladin, but also some other variants.
However, following a strict code of conduct is pretty much the antithesis of how chaotic characters generally act (since one of the big points of chaotic vs lawful aligment is that the latter tends to follow rules and codes, even when it would be beneficial to ignore them, while the latter has no problem bending or breaking the rules when it produces better results), so you have to jump through some hoops to justify a chaotic character following a paladin's code.

Tell me more anon

>>50221474
Paladins being beholden to a specific god was only introduced in Faerun and then 4th edition. And then removed in 5th.
They were never champions of a god. That's literally what Clerics are for.

>>50221474
> internal conflict between the demands of the Holy Patron and the Code
When has this ever been a thing? No really, I've never heard of paladins having conflicting orders, even in the one setting where they do have to follow a specific god.

You, go fuck yourself, your bullshit opinion is unfounded and falacious. Note "channel divinity", a key class feature. Said class feature involves using the power of a God. Just cause your fat smelly ass is too afraid of anything that doesn't line up with your world view to accept that we can have fantastic things in a FANTASY game doesn't mean it's true. Get over yourself, leave your fedora and your rampant insecurities at home, and let's play some role playing games.

>>50225681
Paladins not being powered by a god is explicit in every edition except 4th. There's one (1) main setting that also changes the rule, and that's faerun, where literally everyone needs to have a patron deity.

>>50225756
How you did it, for one thing (assuming you aren't of similar age)

>>50225796
I did amateur porn (think the sexy audio threads on /soc/, except it wasn't on /soc/). She was a fan and we hit it off immediately. We both assumed the other was closer in age than they really were (it took a little while for us to trust each other enough for pictures). When we found out each other's real ages, we figured "fuck it, it wasn't a problem before we knew so why let it become one now." Plus, I've had a MILF fetish since I was in middle school

>>50225681
1st Edition makes no direct mention of if a paladin must follow a specific god, they need a LG cleric to cast attonment if they fall, and give 10% of their wealth to LG religeous institutions, but it doesn't seem like it needs to be the same one every time, so it mostly seems like they just need to give respect to the gods of law and good but don't need to specificaly follow any particular one.

The 2nd Edition Paladin's Handbok allows paladins to believe in a philosophy or code for their powers.

The 3rd Edition PHB flat out says that a Paladin's powers come straight from the cosmic forces of Law and Good, they don't need to follow a specific paron deity, though many do.

4th Edition I beieve they do need a god, but I'm not 100% sure

5th Edition's PHB says similar to 3rd's that while many do devote themselvs to a god of good not all do.


Naturaly specific setting rules trump these, such as in Forgotten Realms.

>>50227529
I called it.

For shit and Giggles, lets see the stuff from the two related Churches from Kingdoms of Kalamar, Faiths of Tellene. The Neutral-Good Parish of Love and the Chaotic-Evil House of Vice. (Which sounds closer to classic Slaanesh.

Parish of Love

Fluff/Church advancement, help happy couples perform marriage ceremonies, also reuniting lost family members-whoa. KoK rules for advancing Ranks in the Chuch give these clerics up to +4 to their CHA...interesting.
Hit die is a d6
6+INT mod for skill points
The spell "spirtual weapon" gives one of these clerics a Spirtual Net.
They can cast Suggestion as a 5th level spell
Can channel divine energy (with a feat) into an Aura that allows dazed/confused characters to make another save to snap out of it.

Whatever, lets get to the REAL slannesh sounding one.

House of Vice
Kay, worship involves going into a not-brothel and being fawned over by hot slave-girls...

Nudists who shave EVERYWHERE? (eyebrows too)

Church advancement is doing what Abbadon did for Slaanesh, (BITE THE PILLOW, IT'S GOIN' IN DRY!) or Sacrificing Virgins. (Pop the cherry and turn them into a slut, or murder them)

'kay, the clerics are either called Vicelords or Insulters, the latter of home are expected to piss off other gods by fucking on their altars, either with kids or that gods sacred animal...
HD= d6, Skill points: 6: INT mod...
Spirtual Weapon is a heavy pick.
And their channel energy is a 60 foot cone that inflicts a -2 on all victims attempts to resist compulsions for 10 minutes.

Strangely enough, there are no special advancements for the evil churchs. Eh, whatever, take either of these as suggestions, though the House of Vice is probably the more obvious one.

I think OP is just shitty at wording and wanted to know what a particularly lustful but good-aligned deity would produce in terms of paladins.

>>50218225
This. When people think about the God of Love, they think of Aphrodite, aka Venus, which is depicted as a vapid bitch. Most forget about Eros, which is not even a god but the personification of Love, and is something very serious. He is one of the four primordial deities who shaped the universe, the other three being Chaos (the endless Void), Gaia (the Earth) and Tartarus (the great Abyss of the underworld). And old gods are fucking scary.

You know, you could have at least tried to make this thread look legitimate.

Putting aside that no such God would Even be accepted in public in any not retarded society, why would a god like that even have anything resembling paladins?

You might as well have just said "I want to make a thread about Older Paladin women 'ara ara'-ing a cute naive altar boy". Seriously, this is /tg/, we would have replied just the same.

>>50217387
Well a Paladin order or frankly Adultery and Wanton Sex sounds a bit off. Kinda a contrapasso of Fertility, the closest thing you have to good.

So your god would need to be one of Beauty, Bliss, Joy, and Love a la a mix of Hera and Aphrodite.

You'd focus on the healthy aspects of bringing bliss through pseudo-romance, in a safe non predatory environment, that is clean and will lead to good health. Well education on the differences of lust and love through demonstration is also healthy. And curing diseases and serving as a withdrawal help for sex addicts would make the Paladin order a kind of rehab clinic for those with psychosexual illnesses.

>>50229255

Don't forget they get Divine Grace, a supernatural ability that makes their fortitude, reflexes and willpower get boosted in proportion to their Charisma.

>>50239902
The only Deities safe from Paladins are the True Neutral ones.

>>50240191
In pantheons not every god would want to be represented by a prophet-like person that kills things. The clerics would just not cast magic or miracles all the time like RPG Clerics do. Divination and other mild things sure, but I doubt all gods would even care about purging unbelievers or killing monstrous things. Like a good of lust, for instance. No clergy from that deity should know anything except maybe a bit of alchemy for love potions

>>50217387

Im building a cult for a oneshot that worships Lathander and took "He blesses those who plant new life." Way too seriously.

Lets me play off the misguided loyalty bit rather than chaotic interference.

I don't think paladins should follow super depraved deities akin to Slaanesh, but orgies and temple prostitutes and so forth aren't very unusual by historical standards.

>>50240770
>Goddess of Love not taking extreme insult from unrepentant heartbreakers and rapists

It's like you never read literally anything about Greek Mythology.
Plus if you go the "Orc tribes are rapists" route you now have Genocidal justification at the behest of a God.

Classic Trope, everybody loves it... Sometimes

>>50241948
The problem is that in a lot of settings clerics aren't regulated, and instead of being one-of-a-kind special prophets to their deity they're one among a few hundred, or even thousands. I can't see a god of romance having 500 people who can cause earthquakes and rain fire from the skies because of a group of orcs.

And even then unless the deity is a very major, important one, chances are there's already at least one other god that's more popular that would fall in agreement, which is why I prefer to have a pantheon or at least groups within a pantheon to be united in sending out clerics and such, not being about a single god but a common partnership between a handful of them. Unless you have a bit of a civil war going on between the pantheon, then I'm all in for that immortal drama spice

I mean, that's all dependent on the setting and GM in the end but still.

>>50242014
True but in that case in most settings Divine PC Classes tend to stick out anyways because no preist npc is realistically going to be toe to toe with a Divine Source PC.

No town clergy is going to be able to Turn Undead, banish a demon, or most spells in the entire set of books without also having high levels in a PC class.

Of Course a Paladin of Love would be weird but so would a Cleric of Love that got to any feasible level of power as an adventurer.

At that point you're saying: Only NPCs can worship the Love god, which is frankly weirder in the meta than just allowing a Paladin of Love.

>>50242239
I'm mostly saying that a cleric or paladin would be raising a banner of multiple deities, but the goddess of love could be the paladin's patron deity, like Arkantos in Age of Mythology. For a pantheon I feel like this would make the most sense, but it's just one of those things that depend on the setting, and a personal preference of mine.

>>50217469
Because a lot of depraved things are actively harmful. S&M runs a fine line between safe and not-safe and most doms take their role VERY seriously. People have died doing kinky things because a rope was too tight or a piercing got infected.

Don't even get me started on drugs. Alcohol, shrooms, and cannabis are one thing but heroin and meth can seriously fuck you up.

Sad disaproval. Short term loss often means long term gain and a girl not having children now means she'll have resources to have more children later.

Yes, you could take a hard line approach but if the goal is children and only children then even rape can be justified.

>>50218277
This only works if a fertility god has allies. If the local god of war decides that he doesn't need a fertility cult distracting is armies there's not much a fertility goddess can do without an army of her own.

>>50244614
Since you asked, I'll drop a huge wall of text like an incredible faggot. I'm still working on the setting, so I don't have names yet. Right now I just call her "The Mother."
The Mother is the first and greatest of the gods, she immaculately conceived herself and her own brother(son?) from herself, willed the other gods into being so that she could fuck them, and while they have children of their own, every living thing can claim origin in her.
She has no interest in maintaining the laws of reality, protecting her offspring, or mediating disputes between powerful entities. She leaves those administrative duties to her brother, the god of death and knowledge. He's the only one who can convince her to intervene when necessary, and you can bet she's pissed when that happens.
Stories surrounding her have a lot to do with the other gods cleaning up after she shirked some responsibility, was "tricked" into making an abomination, or drove someone to mad extremes in pursuit of her fleeting love.
The Mother is impartial, but not cruel. She does grant boons to people who would bring life into the world. Expectant mothers pray to her for safe births, artists look to her for inspiration, and kings pray to her for heirs.
In the city, temples downplay her more lurid aspects and bring it on themselves to shore up holes in her benevolence, especially taking in orphans. Out in the boonies, her worship is still very pagan. Farming communities petitioning for fertile fields compete for her attention by holding festivals where they erect huge wicker dongs and burn them as beacons.
Those who take up arms in her name are rare and disparate. Some are guardians of nature, some consider the undead equally hers. None of them are likely doing anything she asked for.

>>50246324
that's the gist of it yeah
though cleaning up her messes is her brother's full time job, so it would be his paladins at work there

>>50246622
Interesting, sound to me like she wouldn't be worshiped that often though, or rather her brother would be seen as the head god even though she'd be an important mythological figure

>>50217387
I find it sad that similar character art hasn't been shared this thread

>>50242507
>Yes, you could take a hard line approach but if the goal is children and only children then even rape can be justified.
Which is why this is retarded and impractical. That's not a Paladin of life, that's a Paladin of birth. In fact, this extremist reasoning is exactly the real life problem women face.

>>50217387
In 5e I suppose you could interpret the oath of the ancients roughly in that direction. The tenets are about spreading and defending joy and goodness. So theoretically you could dedicate yourself to spreading debauchery (of a sort). You'd have to constantly be vigilant about keeping it from going too far, since running around starting raves probably would do more harm than good.

End of the day, though, you'd basically just be a bard with a stricter moral code.

Fuck.

Morality has nothing to do with lawfulness or the lack thereof. Lawful means to act within the strictures of a code, usually but not necessarily the law of the land. Morality is a good/evil question.


To answer OP, they would be flirty, generally down for a good time (dat disease resistance, tho), and probably have a few kinks. Nothing over the top or crazy.

>>50223943
Underrated post

>>50251148
Lawful is more than that.
Lawful is fatalism. You believe that the existence of everything is pre-determined and the proper way to live is the find harmony in that.

Where the alignment struggle becomes harder to realize from our real life point of view is that, we can only think philosophically if the world is deterministic or not, but in a world with alignments, it is a question of power struggle. Chaos is out there, always with the agenda to stop the world from being pre-determined. Destroyed mortality, borders between planes and even fucking the concept of linear time.

Lawful is more than merely code and order.

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Okay, so what would a Paladin or Cleric of Dibella or whatever sex god/goddess be like?

>Lives in a monastery that doubles as a brothel. Money goes towards helping the poor or keeping up with the bills for the complex.
>Uses their pilgrimage or travels to preach about safe sex, birth control, avoiding succubi.
>Crusades against adultery, rape, child molestation, necrophilia, sex slavery and snuff.
>At home, practices Kama Sutra with other priestesses, pole dancing, nude worship, posing nude for artwork, etc.

What would be the age they can accept people, though? 16 would be good enough for medieval settings, right?

Sounds like a reasonable set of objectives for someone whose part of an organisation that's positive about sex but wants to see it done responsibly.
And I imagine that the age of admittence depends on whether they have to start off with largely theory-based work when they're an acolyte. Sex education is supposed to be taught to youngsters after all before they do something irresponsible.

Right, but it would be creepy to take in orphans and raise them in a sex-based religious monastery. Of course, a benevolent erotic faith would express that temple prostitution and nudity is entirely a personal choice and other acolytes can do gardening, cleaning, healing, etc. Though it would be more historically accurate and adhere to my magical realm if the preteen and teenage monks in training were allowed to join in on shenanigans.

>Teaches sex ed to local children and ignorant peasants.
>Go around town passing condoms or other time period-friendly safe sex objects.
>Besides offering prostitution and nude posing, the monastery and monks also perform spa services and give unclothed massages. Gives make overs and hairstyling to women for a price. Sell sex toys, incense, candles and sex instruction books.
>Crusades against incest as well. MAYBE bestiality, too, if they were okay with it, it has to be so it doesn't physically harm the animal.
>Cures STDs and exorcises sex-based demons.
>Performs abortions in secret for any frightened woman who needs one.

This was bothering me, too. Had an idea for a temple prostitute/sexy paladin character for a while.

>>50252750

I recognize that character!

>>50252775
I have no idea who she is, sadly. Just have a couple pics of her.

Who is she and where can I find more?

Sacred prostitutes with the power to cure and prevent STD's and exorcise sex-based demons sounds like a good character idea. Only problem is that trying to play the idea straight might cause a knee-jerk reaction from people who automatically assume you're being skeevy about the whole thing. However that sort of uncomfortable attitude (from either direction) about sex is exactly what a sacred prostitute would be trying to cure with their knowledge.

An epicurean hedonist paladin wouldn't make much sense, since they wouldn't really have goals except for leading a simple, pleasant life.
A utilitarian might work better.

Well, some people can be open-minded, empathetic and respectful in most situations but still jump to conclusions about anybody who seems to fit a particular label. Limbic system being what it is, logic takes a backseat whilst prejudice overpowers the mind. It's not uncommon but if it isn't handled properly it can escalate pretty quickly.

>>50253000
It should be fine so long as you present it in the right light, to show you have some social tact in the matter.

As well, getting with the DM to make sure there is such a god in their setting is a must, for obvious reasons. Asking them for references and information on a Good aligned goddess in their setting akin to that of Ishkar, because of your desires in playing a Babylonian culture themed Paladiness, shows that first and foremorst the theme is on your mind rather than the sex, and that you are actively researching material and are informed to try and provide a higher quality character to the table, while caring about the DMs desires for the world and setting.
Then address if there may be some qualms from anyone in the party on a character with affilition to mature topics given the nature of preistesses and female servants of the babylonian gods to show you care about meshing with the rest of the individuals around the table. And if the DM didn't understand exactly what you meant, you are clarifying it without insulting him by assuming he didn't understand the themes of your reference material

I imagine that would be a problem in setting, too. He or she would probably upset some helpless civilians since they'd have a habit of getting their clothes/armor torn off while fighting a demon, or wake up naked in strange places often. That, and their religious attire, while armor is practical, would be... less than modest.

Another idea is that the monastery would be in constant conflict with an evil sex religion, one that tells its followers to commit wanton rape (killing afterward is optional and possible), abduct people for slavery, molest children, perform bug chasing and use innocents as sacrifices in their blood orgies.

>>50254164
Blackguards being immune to but still Carriers of Diseases probably would make them bug chasers.
