Aug 13, 2019 · Is this a valid ruling (i.e. it overrides the PHB as regards the Forgotten Realms) backed up with material from a sourcebook (And if so, which one), or is this just an unofficial stance/interpretation of a staff member? The tweet suggests that Forgotten Realms paladins do have to follow a deity, which would be counter to the rules in the PHB. I ...

Jul 11, 2022 · Also about the source of paladin power outside of the Forgotten Realms. You can see it in the PHB: The spells of clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers are called divine magic. These spellcasters’ access to the Weave is mediated by divine power — gods, the divine forces of nature, or the sacred weight of a paladin’s oath.

Jul 19, 2019 · A note on when official-ness applies to the Forgotten Realms. The origin of the Forgotten Realms predates D&D entirely, circa 1967, as it was an invention of Ed Greenwood’s childhood imagination before he encountered D&D. It’s not possible that anything derived directly from the D&D holy avenger was part of this pre-D&D conception of the ...

Jan 30, 2016 · So, obviously, there are no Haela's temples. Trouble is that my paladin should attend temples, pray and pay homage to the goddess. So, should he attend some "compatible" deity's temple in absence of Haela's one or would it be blasphemy? In general, do peoples of Forgotten Realms treat foreign gods like Romans - as versions of their gods?

Sep 10, 2020 · I want to make a drow paladin in D&D 3.5 edition from the Forgotten Realms; however, I am having some trouble picking a deity. My DM has already told me that I cannot make a paladin of Eilistraee because (1) she does not have any paladins in 3rd edition, and (2) she is a chaotic good deity who does not support order.

Oct 2, 2015 · So, is there any way to add heal to the paladin’s spell list, such that a non-epic paladin could cast it? Alternate class features and variant (base-class 1) paladins are acceptable, as are feats, prestige classes, and any other shenanigans you can find. The less abusive the method, however, the more preferred the option is.

Oct 1, 2016 · I'm playing NWN2 (a videogame based on the Forgotten Realms setting during the D&D 3.5e era) on a RP server and I recently had an idea to create a paladin. I would like to create a crusader based on Warcraft Tirion Fordring or Warhammer typical crusading and purging everything — fanatic marines.

Jul 22, 2019 · A follow-up on this Q&A regarding the origins of the Holy Avenger and similar "holy" weapons in the Forgotten Realms, and in D&D more generally. As noted there, the Realms have experienced several in-narrative events created to coincide with, and explain, rules changes that came with each new edition of D&D -- the (first) Sundering, the Time of ...

May 9, 2018 · The source of the Paladin's power, in terms of the Paladin's spellcasting ability, is in their oath, their deep conviction, and their adherence to it. That is the source of a paladin's magical powers. (To slightly challenge the frame of your question, it can be more than one thing, rather than being just one thing).

May 26, 2018 · The Paladin doesn't just get cool stuff from their deity for free; they have to put their life on the line in their god's service. Take some inspiration from the Dungeon World concept of a "mixed success" , where, if the player is trying to do something but doesn't quite succeed, you offer them "a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice".
