[Kerilstrasz]

i know about the variants.. paladin of freedom etc etc..

There is a paladin PrC called the greygaurd. I beleive it is in the Complete Scoundrel book. It allows some leniency on the paladin code. Let me see if I can find a link for you.

Edit: This should do it. You are still LG, but you can get away with some "bad things" if you believe it is for the "greater good". At the very least, it can give you and your DM some room to talk about what parts of the conduct can be bent.

Heh... a Holy Warrior defending Neutrality? I hate those filthy Neutrals. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything like that. You could go Divine Crusader for a Neutral Deity or something, but that's a prestige class.

If you ever commit a good, evil, lawful, or chaotic act, you immediately lose all class abilities and must atone.

I talk about a number of "unorthodox" paladin variants in my Real Alignments Handbook (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283341). The paladin variants do not require using Real Alignments (as in the handbook I just talk about them), but personally I'd recommend your GM use Real Alignments anyway because it gives a far more realistic approach to codes of conduct (among many other reasons).

Take leadership. Buy a Fanatic's Collar. Use it to be dominated by your LN cohort. At least once every 17 days, have them command you to willingly activate the item to renew its effect.

Play a suitably aligned battle cleric or a suitably aligned crusader or a grey guard or a paladin of a different alignment using the UA variants, or any combo there of.

That's really all I've got for you.

Some of these builds (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252932&page=2) might help.

Heretic of the faith feat from Powers of Faerun. I so wish i had discovered it a bit earlier. Also good for legally playing LE clerics of Pelor.

Overuse of "..." is itself overused, in my opinion. Unless the several times I've seen that have all been from the same person. It's not like I've been keeping track. Regardless, I can't say I care for it, but hey, that's just me.

Off-topic, I know, but hey, blame the requirement of non-quoted text for that. Blame MS Paint Adventures (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/) for the subject matter. (I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be critiquing someone's typing quirk if not for Homestuck.)

Anyway,
