In Need of Paladin Inspiration!

[Esser-Z]

This one's a bit tricky what with the way the Atonement spell is worded- implying that paladins, druids, and clerics can all fall for unwitting or involuntary evil acts.

However the Pathfinder version of the Atonement spell strongly implies that its only druids or clerics that have this problem.

In 3.0, paladins fell permanently for willing evil acts, but could regain paladinhood if they atoned, for unintentional ones or ones committed under magical compulsion.

The same was true in 2nd ed, and, I think, 1st ed.

3.5 was the first to actually allow for paladins redeeming themselves after willingly committing an evil act.

Well, I was expressing my personal preference, not necessarily how the system, is written, heh.
