Isn't that like a physical impossibility? Negative energy and lawful good juice not mixing and stuff.

If the undead is good they will accept the mercy that is the peace of the grave.

Carry on, then.

>>53005823
There's so many caveats and exceptions to that rule dependent on setting and system.
Revenants, negative energy not being strictly evil (haram, I know), negative energy being Evil but not necessarily making you a mustache twirling asshole, >>53005886 related, "I am not done" paladins, the ever popular Sun Bros of Dark Souls fame, etc.

The important question is, how would YOU do an Undead Paladin?

An undying oath of duty.

The following is relevant to a campaign i'm writing.

Before one tries to smite or destroy undead, one should check their livery or brands. If they bear the mark of the Undying Lords, they were purchased for use from one of the Charnel Houses. Destroying them would be a great insult, and you don't want to make the Undying Lords your enemy.

The other more common kind of undead encountered is the vagrant dead. They are naught but homeless souls with no place, as the gods are dead or absent, found among the streets of the multitude of astral cities. Relatively harmless, they mostly beg silently on the street, mimicking speech and actions of life. They tend to collect oddities that seem to serve no significance.

Lastly are the wild dead. The undead of the ruins and cursed worlds. These undead emerged from lost and ancient worlds, and are such absent any faculties. They will not hesitate to attack, and so one is quite in their right to smite their kind.

I pulled pic related on a paladin in a campaign I ran.
His character died, As he handed over his character sheet I shook my head and said "You have unfinished business"
Paladin stuck out the rest of the fight with standard stats, literally just taking negative damage, collapsed with a smile on his face once the fight was over.

>>53006845
Please tell me this was a plot significant fight and his refusal to die until it was finished lead them to victory.

>>53003517
OR you could tag team with the revenant who ALSO want to kill the asshole you're hunting because it burned his village and killed his wife in front of him, and he couldn't get his revenge because he got #rekt in the confrontation.

>>53006888
It was the final fight, afterwards I described the paladin's body as "shredded, torn, scraps of flesh and bone poking through the rent armor"

However when the battle was over, the paladin simply fell over, reached out for their sword, and the party barbarian brought it to them so they could die with it in hand. Died with a smile on his face.

Healer bitched at me for not letting them heal the paladin after the fight was over.

>>53007040
>>53006888
Healer tried to heal them mid fight too, I told them their healing spells had no effect on the already dead.

No sense of storycraft.

Ya did gud.

>>53002465
Depends on the setting. Sometimes the undead are innately evil, sometimes they're just automatons made of decomposing organic matter, sometimes they're just people who didn't die right for some reason. Unless you know what kind of setting you're in, making that kind of statement is inane at best, suicidal at worst.

Paladin's player was pretty bro tier

I like to shit on my players every now and again, but I also like to see good RP and characters play out a story

>>53007269
Nothing more satisfying than seeing a player pull a victory out of the fires of Hell.

>>53007189
Depends on the paladin. For many cases, no, for the same reason Superman and Punisher would probably not get along.

A particularly cynical paladin might work though. In which case I can hear an almost Miguel and Tulio-esque repartee going back and forth, albeit less bard more gruff.

Sounds like the easiest fix is to reign in the Punisher player into Batman territory.
Then they can be BFFs.

>>53007622
lolifu? This is a paladin thread. Also undead.

>>53007541
Well, as much as batman and superman are, which is still pretty often butting heads, but at least generally civil 70% of the time.

That said, good luck reigning it in. Expecting a revenant to tone down its VENGEANCE! is like expecting a wizard to have a moral compass.

Step 1: Detect Evil

Step 2: Smite Evil.

Any questions?

>>53007764
As far as typos go, that's a pretty good one.

>>53007810
1 HD undead don't detect.

>>53007884
You smite just to be sure. It only works if the target is evil anyway.

>>53007979
But if they only have 1HD then you'd probably kill them even without the Smite damage.
The you fall for killing an innocent 1HD undead.

>>53007810
What if it also pings on Detect Good?

>>53008024
Assume evil shenanigans and smite anyways.

>>53008041
What if limited smites?

>>53007884
Then you use this instead
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/d/detect-fiendish-presence/

If there's 1HD undead afoot either there's a wizard doing something stupid who just needed free labor and didn't care about the danger to self or others, or there's demon worshiper shenanigans going on. This gives you the answer.

>>53007979
I mean, the sword bit still stabs. It'll kill or nearly kill anything with 1HD.

>>53005823
It's basically Skull Knight from Berserk
