Paladins, who needs them?

Paladins, who needs them?

I have always enjoyed ... high fantasy ... such as Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings, etc a world with magic, and a multitude of races, such as elves, dwarves, goblins, etc. I enjoy LARPing in these systems.

One common class of hero is the paladin, a holy warrior of the highest honor, integrity, and ethics. These warriors can wield magical healing powers just as well as their weapons and armor. They tend to be the pinnacle of what many people want to become.

They never interested me. I am a warrior, solid, stoic, solemn. I fight for what I believe in, and I am willing to die for those that I deem worthy of my protection. I hold myself to my own honor, integrity, ethics. I do not have any magical powers, just grit ... determination ... resolve.

Paladins are flawed, no one can be that ... good ... without being truly evil. Fuck them. I have flaws, but I am stronger because of them. Our real world has no magic, why wish for that? Do magic through yourself ... your actions ... your interactions.

I drove by a house of a lovely lady I used to flirt with. She needed a friend, I was a friend. She disliked her husband, called it a loveless marriage. I offered her sex. She needed a friend. I became a friend. We talked for many months, great pictures shared. She asked me to pick her up one night. I quickly took a shower, told my wife that I was going to meet her. She then called and canceled. We talked long that night. She still loved her husband. I encouraged her to stay with him. It never sounded like he ever abused her. I felt it was just a very rough part of life at the moment for them. She liked my friendship. Nothing ever happened, a couple of months later, she stopped talking. I hoped she and her husband made it work. I do not know.

I have my flaws, my inner demons eat me often. Self insecurity, self doubt, bad self image. I have done things I am not proud of.

... too many memories ... pain ...

I don’t like where I went with this post ...

I’m ending it now. Maybe continued later ...

Eh, I think the joy in playing a Paladin is fun because I know I've got my demons and flaws, which is why I enjoy playing one. Plus I like to ham it up which annoys the group. It's funny. Add to it the interactions between myself and rogue. Within 5 minutes, the rogue is at me saying "I DON'T NEED ANY HELP WITH MY MORAL CHOICES MOM!!!" LOL!

Who can you call on to save the day?

Why none other than...


Agent

True, thinking back, I do remember playing one, hamming it up to the max, and trying to keep our party’s necromancer on the good and wholesome road, while the necromancer tried keeping everything out of my sight ...

Who would ever want to be a Paladin for real? They are pure - which means they are also lonely and sexless.

Wait! If I'm lonely and sexless does that mean I'm a Paladin? Sh*t!

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I have a female friend that refers to me as her best girlfriend. Oh noooo, we still have plenty of sex, but she also knows there is nothing she can't discuss me with.

Many of my FWB, and some of my ... just F without the B ... are that way. I guess I have an honest and soothing aura in person or something ... well, except when my inner demons are active. One night I went to Braums for ice cream, and I was really bothered, as it was the two year anniversary of the accident that eventually took my brother’s life. My inner demons were very active with ... I guess survivor’s guilt ...
I was in line, and looked down, and this 5 year old girl was just standing there next to her parents staring at my face with the most gut wrenching scared and shocked face. I honestly think she saw my demons and was traumatized from it.

I truly hope that I am wrong about that.
