Good sayings for a Paladin.

[Mystic Muse]

I'm looking for good sayings for a Paladin to use. Any suggestions? I'd give examples but mine are all based off of a real world religion and therefore don't belong on these boards.

[Divide by Zero]

Start off with the classic "The power of <insert deity here> compels you!"

[WildPyre]

Hmm yeah are we talking a specific paladin or just paladins in general? If it's a specific one then knowing who they worship and what they stand for would help.

[skywalker]

"Pelor says die!"

There's always classics like "By Moradin's Beard (yes, Beard gets capitalized here)!"

[The Rabbler]

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

shamelessly stolen from Pulp Fiction.

[Mystic Muse]

Paladins in general but also for my current Paladin.

He's a Paladin of Bahamut and has a kind of "anybody can be redeemed" attitude.

[Jabber]

Just a couple...

"Smiting for Goodness!"

"I will redeem you, by force if neccessary"

"I smite because I care"

[Lycan 01]

*put on sunglasses*

"We're on a mission from God."




"We are the earthy agents of God's divine punishment. Our mission is to destroy those who would oppose him, down to the last wee bit. AMEN!!" - Paladin Alexander Anderson, from Hellsing


"Kill them all. <god> will know his own..."

[Drakevarg]

"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon."

[Mystic Muse]

"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon."

.......you're name is strangely appropriate for this quote considering the character that says it.

[Reynard]

"Remember the dead, but fight for the living."

[Optimystik]

Just use generic knightly phrases that aren't specific to a particular religion.

"Light"
"Glory"
"Honor"
"Heathen"
"Blessing"
"Righteous"
"Wrath"
"Divine"
"Smite"
"Succor"

For instance: "The Light of [Deity] smite thee, heathen!"
Or: "Face [Deity's] righteous wrath, scoundrel!"
Or: "Accept the blessing of [Deity's] healing hands, comrade."

Just check other sources for paladins, like the spells and talents for the Warcraft paladin - you'll get tons of words like these.

[Flame of Anor]

Repent or be smote!

[Drakevarg]

.......you're name is strangely appropriate for this quote considering the character that says it.

Sanity is not a prerequisite for paladinhood. (Speaking of which, next campaign I'm in I'm totally rolling a psycho paladin.)

[The Cat Goddess]

Rather than being an Angry or Righteous Paladin... be a Redeemer.

When someone indicates they follow a deity other than yours:
"That is good... too."

When confronting villianous minions:
"Repent your evil ways and you will not be harmed."

When questioned by your party about why you keep asking the enemy to surrender:
"There is no being so evil that the Light of Bahamut cannot reach them and raise them up."

When villianous minions attack anyway:
"I pray you find the redemption in death that you spurned here in life."

Before you use your Breath Weapon (if you're a Dragonborn with that ability, of course):
"The Holy Flames of Bahamut will cleanse you!"

[Mastikator]

I am <insert name>, paladin of <insert organization>
You <insert name>, are under arrest for <insert crimes>, surrender and be taken to a fair and just trial where holy judgement will be rendered and justice will be served.

[EccentricOwl]

Do your players like Warhammer?

"GOOD FOR THE GOOD GOD!"

[Set]

"It is not my place to judge you. That would be hubris, the sin of pride. My duty is to humbly send you to the One who shall." <draws sword>

<while hacking and slashing through the battlefield> "Know that I take no pleasure in this..." <as a foe falls> "I forgive you." <moves on to fell another> "Be at peace." <and another> "May your next life be better than this."

"The stain of evil upon you roils about you like vermin. I am here to save you from this terrible thing that you have done to yourself."

"Rejoice, for your redemption is at hand." <draws greatsword>

"I've got your forgiveness right here." <sword with the word 'forgiveness' written in celestial on the blade>

"Your soul can still be saved, if, like a surgeon, I cut away all that is diseased." <pause, tilts head while detecting evil> "Which appears to be pretty much everything... Shall we get to work?"

"Your pacts with fell powers come at a terrible price, and I, like an unwelcome taxman, am here to collect the balance due."

"The only coin that can repay your terrible deeds is forged in steel and annointed in the blood of the wicked. I have it here in my hand."

"The Dialogues of Anachritius are quite clear on the punishments for your crimes. While you deserve much worse, I am admonished to make your death as clean, swift and painless as possible. Forgive me if I am not entirely successful..."

"I swear to treat your wife and child better than you have, upon the event of your passing."

There's always the sayings of Big Ears, after whom most of my paladin-type characters are modeled.

[Drakevarg]

"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole world--

--No, you move."

[Mystic Muse]

Rather than being an Angry or Righteous Paladin... be a Redeemer.

When someone indicates they follow a deity other than yours:
"That is good... too."

When confronting villianous minions:
"Repent your evil ways and you will not be harmed."

These are good.

When questioned by your party about why you keep asking the enemy to surrender:
"There is no being so evil that the Light of Bahamut cannot reach them and raise them up."

really like this one.

When villianous minions attack anyway:
"I pray you find the redemption in death that you spurned here in life."

Before you use your Breath Weapon (if you're a Dragonborn with that ability, of course):
"The Holy Flames of Bahamut will cleanse you!"

Hmm. definitely going to use the first. Not sure about the second.

These are more along the lines of what I'm looking for. (going to be a Dragonborn eventually. Just wondering whether I can convince my DM to give me all three aspects somehow. or at the very least the wings and breath weapon.)

[Kris Strife]

"I kick *** for (insert deity of choice here)"

"In the name of (insert deity of choice here), foul spirits release these bodies that they may return to their eternal rest!"

The others I've got right now are either fairly well reflected here, or slightly modified versions of lines from Gurren Lagann and G-Gundam.

[Mystic Muse]

Modified lines are fine.

"It is not my place to judge you. That would be hubris, the sin of pride. My duty is to humbly send you to the One who shall." <draws sword>

I like this one too.

[Malificus]

Hey, Pelor, you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Pelor (woo woo)
Hey Pelor (woo woo)

Or you could just quote anything Don Quixote says in Man of la Mancha

[Mystic Muse]

Hey, Pelor, you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Pelor (woo woo)
Hey Pelor (woo woo)

Or you could just quote anything Don Quixote says in Man of la Mancha

Yeah, that ain't going to work. Me and Pelor kind of had a....a falling out if you will.

and what is man of la mancha?

[The Cat Goddess]

Yeah, that ain't going to work. Me and Pelor kind of had a....a falling out if you will.

and what is man of la mancha?

It's a book that treats the story of Don Quixote in a more mature and sympathetic manner than the original author did.

[Mystic Muse]

........and Don Quixote is?

[ninjaneer003]

Great mental quote/action by our warforged paladin

"I hear sounds on the other side of this wall. I'll use my hardened warforged body to break through it!"

[Malificus]

........and Don Quixote is?

Don Quixote is a man who read so many books about chivalry that he became delusional, believing that he himself was a knight errant.

The result was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfHnz...eature=related

Take it from probably our best modern example of a paladin:
