One who's committed to Good purely as an ideal, unconstrained by desires of lawfulness or chaos. I'm curious what people have come up with.

I have a Dragon Magazine, printed back during the 3.0-3.5 revision, which had Holy Warriors for every non-evil alignment (Paladin being the Holy Warrior for lawful good, for example).

The Soldier of Light prestige class was basically a neutral good Prestige Palladin. It was in either Faiths and Pantheons or Deities and Demigods I think.

I sort of remember him, but I'm looking for a base class someone might've created on the boards. And I can't seem to look with a search function, if it's here I can't find it.

Use google, and do a restricted domain search. The actual search function of the boards has been down forever...

Edit: Stick this in with your google search terms: site:community.wizards.com

You could go with the simple solution and just drop the lawful requirement of the core paladin class.

Subscribe, it's worth it. :)

The afore-mentioned paladin variants were in issue 310 (http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2003/310), and though it's out of print, you can still order a PDF copy of it for $4.95.

There were evil paladin variants, in issue 312 (http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2003/312)--which is still in print.

Nope. Honestly, I think that there should be legitimate tweaking towards a Knight serving the Greater Good. Easy =/= better.

Thanks for the link to the site, by the way. I had posted before I read it.

The original NG paladin variant was the Myrikhaan, sort of a NG Holy Ranger. Way back in the Dragon magazine with the 9 paladins.

MMM...and this is all from memory!

Paladin

Myrikhaan

Garesh? - CG

Lyan - LN (Lord, these guys were MONSTERS)

Paramander/Paramnadyer (TN)

Farath? (CN) Think Aholy Mongol Hordesman.

Illrigger (these guys were nasty - unholy Paladin assassins!)

Aarikhaan - NE (Unholy Ranger/Reavers)

Anti-Paladin

you have a bunch of options-

a) Any number of prestige classes from CD. Hospitaler, Pious Templar and Divine Crusader come to mind. Also, the Divine Champion from player's guide to faerun/FRCS. Also from CD, the true believer feat.

b) The Crusader from Tome of Battle.

c) Cleric/Fighter/Warpriest, Favored Soul, Favored Soul/Fighter/Warpriest, Ranger/Fighter, so on...

d) Discuss a variant with your DM.

e) The paladin from WoW CS (requirement is any good) and the Champion from Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved. Both 3rd party, but it's worth a shot.

f) Battle Sorc from UA or Sorc/EK with the celestial sorcerer feats from PHB II.

h) Get off on a technicality. Talk to your DM about a pally who is constrained by a personal code and is LG accordingly, but is indifferent to society's laws.

i) The Divine Mind or the Illumine Soul from Complete Psionic.
