>>55243697
Absolutely reasonable. Memextreme paladins are the worst cancer anyone can bring to the tabletop

>>55243697
Full of youthful righteous vigor that grows tempered and experienced throughout the story/campaign.

>>55243697
I prefer them when they are able to not kill themselves doing some stupid shit.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHTEOUS. The kind who campaign against the forces of darkness, but also tell children to eat their veggies. The kind who are just as likely to publically execute serial killers as they are to read children's books to impoverished orphans. His favorite is "The little Crusader who could (retake the Holy Land)"

Sensibly dedicated to the cause of righteousness.

Also they all should have to start as fighters and earn the title of knight-paladin through about 5 levels of service and not acting like a self-righteous entitled fool.

Depends on the setting.

No, really. Everything from the Deus Vulting Goblin Slayer ripoff to the flower-wielding Care Bearadin are viable in the right setting. But if you're going diametrically opposed to the setting and its take on good and evil, honor and justice, and the like, then you're probably going to make things less fun for everyone involved.

Unless you've talked it over with them and they think the concept of a fish out of water Paladin who either changes or is changed by the setting is something they want to play with, of course. Then go for it, but don't complain when things don't go your way.

Absolutely righteous, he is a fanatic who is only an instrument of his cause, he fights for something greater

Gotta agree with that.

Total boy\girl scouts, utterly wholesome and unflappable in the face of other horrors, it can be played up to make them a beacon of hope or a point of mockery

Michael Carpenter from Dresden Files. Platonic ideal.

Fanatically devoted to their cause to the point of self-destruction.

Lawful and good, i.e. "Smite ALL the evil, no exceptions".

Absolutely righteous, absolutely naive and hammier than William Shatner. A glorious, chivalrous buffoon who nonplusses all who encounter him with his childlike levels of idealism and friendliness, but is nonetheless dangerously competent at smiting the actual, irredeemable evils of the world. Easily-distracted, particularly when teammates are engaging in less-than-honorable behavior. Pompous, but in a way that asks "the view is so nice up here, won't you join me?" Happily throws money at con artists until they feel bad for him.
