08-30-06, 09:45 PM Ever since I first read the description of Wee Jas I have had the idea of a dark hero dedicated to this deity. A character struggling with anger, a penchant for violence, and an affinity for undead who nevertheless fought on the side of good.

Since it is theoretically possible to have a LG worshipper of Wee Jas, I assume it is both possible and permissable by the clergy of the Ruby Sorceress to have a paladin dedicated to her worship.

What do you imagine such a character to be like? I am playing with ideas like Paladin/Knight and Fallen Paladin/Blackguard, but I am open to all kinds of ideas.

Thanks for your thoughts!

P.S. If there is something in the generally accepted traditions that suggests this is not possible, I would be interested to know details. Thanks!

The dichotomy between the good and evil members of the Wee Jas organization made for a some good political intrigue in the game. It can really give the DM a lot to work with, and a DM who can see the potential will have a ton of fun with it.

Our DM set it up perfectly--when we went to confront the Big Bad Evil Woman, a cleric of Wee Jas, she turned out to be pregnant with his child. Oh so perfect. His early slip--a trist with a "random" mysterious redhead--comes back to bite all of us in the arse at the end of the campaign.

They're basically the church's troubleshooters-- they aren't assassins, but they can be. The sample NPC given for that PrC is a man who guards a necropolis while living on a farm with his family.
