Lord Liaden Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Paladins were always cool. Not their fault when they're roleplayed by someone lame. Lawnmower Boy, Pariah and tkdguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5e "Paladin" is a joke: it stands for nothing and it was only brought about because A) Players found that playing a proper (i.e., Lawful Good) Paladin was too difficult (when the class is about walking a higher path while focusing on Good over Law if and when a moral/ethical conflict arises instead of assuming the role of a Lawful Neutral or even Lawful Evil(!) jackass that is only nominally Lawful Good while they bully others around) and/or B ) Too many Dungeon Masters provided Morton's Fork-style challenges for Paladins that lead to them falling from grace.

MD&D tries to strip away Alignment (which includes clear good and evil) while encouraging/supporting evil - or at least murky/grey morality - play. No wonder the Paladin is viewed with greater disrespect these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially that's right. Everyone knows, though, that the red is there to distract you from the really dangerous stuff the financial institutions have buried down in the Flyspeck 3 font.

Ragitsu Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 In the states (if not other nations, as well), people have an aversion towards red text - in part - because of past trauma associated with overly-critical teachers .

Pariah Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 In fairness, I also occasionally grade in orange and purple. It just kind of depends on my mood, and which pen I happen to have handy at that moment. The fact that I pretty much never grade in red pen is primarily a function of the fact that I don't like red pens, and consequently almost never have one at hand.
