I can see what you mean regarding paladins. You are thinking along the lines of a
religious zealot? I agree with what you are saying, but I'm wondering if diversity
is taken care of when dealing with the different religions. I would not expect a
Shokai paladin to leave a lich alone just because it walked into a city. A Nepenthe
paladin, I might expect otherwise.

> Second: If you must keep Paladins lawful only, at least balance the good vs. evil by making Lichs not able to be lawful(or at the least arbiters),

I think this is an intriguing idea. If I were a lich, I could consider myself immortal,
and a power above mortal law. I could see the change you suggest, but remember the lawful
ideal is one of order. Why wouldn't a lich believe in suc a thing.


> after all, lichs are described in the help file as "..skin and muscle give way to bone and empty eye sockets, altering the once mortal creature into an unnatural and hideous thing." Would you really want something like this guarding your town?

Hmm but what would be more intimidating to a criminal than an undead guardian?


> Third: I would love to see a class of nuetrality(and possibly lightwalking)(I add lightwalking because they all need empowerment) that could summon. At the moment, no class of nuetrality can summon.
> Evil: AP, Necromancer, and Shaman
> Nuetral: None
> Good: Paladin and Shaman

Actually, I'd love to see a neutral/good only mage class along with the return of dwarven mages. ;)


> Fourth: Update the help files on the races and classes. None of them(That I have seen) show if a race can be a conjurer(help gnome) among other things.
