How does /v/ feel about the Paladin? Or any other similar holy classes like a Cleric, Crusader and Templar?
>>383161274
Bullying innocent skeletons is cruel.
They're fine in PnP but I don't think they're properly treated in vidya, mainly because religion in general is not really properly treated or explored in vidya
Monk is best
Like chaff before the wind.

Blame the fedora writers. Dragon Age and Pillars of Eternity is insulting when it comes to templars/paladins.
I love these types of classes for some reason.
Which game does it best? I really like Dark Souls 1 for holy builds.
>claymore with sunlight blade
>paladin or brass armor
>sanctus shield
What games have a similar experience, if any?
>>383161274
Tanks and healers are my two favorite roles in RPGs so naturally a mix of the two would be my favorite class.
>>383164659
Skyrim has a fuckton of nice paladin mods. But it's Skyrim so you'll have to mod pretty much everything to make it enjoyable.
>>383164237
This looks so fucking silly
>>383165071
It's extravagant, yeah. I posted it because it reminds me of OP's pic.
Where my Paladiniggas at?
>>383162726
Skeletons are unholy abominations and must be purged, absolutely no exceptions.
>>383163797
>They're fine in PnP
Yeah cause the GM forcing you into trolley problems whenever he gets the chance to make you fall is such a fun time.
feels good cleansing the impure
>>383166249
Skellingtons did nothing wrong. Necromancers are the vile ones.
I feel most people who make threads about paladins have autism.
Nobody gives a shit what other thinks about an rpg class. If you like it, like it. Stop being autistic.
paladins are a shit class
only moralfags play them
best class is edgy sneaking backstabbing thief
>>383166617
>can't comprehend people discussing things they enjoy
You have autism anon.
>>383166653
Why is it every thread there's that one faggot that unironically wants to be the fedora tipping, nine inch nails listening edgy faggot?
>>383166878
because it's fun
>>383167031
I too remember early 2005's but being an edgy faggot isn't fun or cool anymore.
>>383166848
>please validate my rpg class that I use to define myself, which every game/story does differently without any set rules, so the topic is retarded in the first place
>calls others autists
I think it's time to race reality, anon.
>>383167102
don't act like you what's cool
>>383166617
Paladin is not the class that attracts the most autists, but the ones it does attract are the most insufferable ones
What are some games where I can play as a dark knight/blackguard/anti-paladin?
>>383166653
>>383166878
>>383167031
>>383167102
>spiraling into political ideological semantics over dnd class
try actually reading a book once in your lifetime instead
>>383167336
>please validate
Yep. You have autism.
>>383167515
Stop being a fedora tipping edgelord.
>>383161274
Gayass fag better play a pure martial.
>>383167873
What?
>>383167992
I meant it like Paladins are figurative faggots and it's better to play an actual pure warrior that doesn't have to beg for figurative god cock.
Who /ranger/ here?
Exclusive bow-users need not apply. A true ranger is more versatile than a glorified archer.
>>383166358
It actually is.
There's nothing quite like a Paladin for being your personal shit GM canary.
Remember that some GMs can hide their shittiness for a while until you get sunk costed into staying, or slowly go to shit while you hope it gets better.
If you roll a paladin and get railroaded into falling, you've potentially saved weeks, or even months, of shit games
>>383168271
Warriors make shitty tanks because they lack the holy magic needed to pummel and purge unholy and wicked fags and also self heal to take punishment. Also
>>383168380
>Paladin+Cleric
>you can now take on the entire fucking planet
I like them. It isn't my main class but they're always dependable.
paladin was my favourite classuntil i played astrologian
Name some good games I can play a Paladin in
>>383168347
a true ranger wouldn't be out adventuring, a true ranger would tend to a forest all year so people can ride through, maintaining the dirt/ground so no big roots stick out, and everything is visible and not overgrown
>>383168620
>Warriors make shitty tanks because they lack the holy magic needed to pummel and purge unholy and wicked fags and also self heal to take punishment. Also
>tanking for band of losers instead of avoiding damage for yourself
>needing healer instead of relying on your natural health regeneration or life drain
>all that while doing massive DPS
>>383168347
>my wife's elvish son the class
>>383168347
Ranger's are Druid's slaves.
>>383168875
p-please guys i just want to slay some heathens
>>383168885
LUMBERFOOTS GET OUT
>>383168875
Diablo 2 springs to mind.
Baldur's Gate, as well. Bonus points for being among the strongest and most useful classes in the game.
What's a Paladin?
>>383168885
That sounds really fucking gay holy shit.
