09-03-04, 02:52 AM I'm looking to introduce a renegade knight, his lands lost to war and his life turned to thievery and other roguish behaviour. Any idea of how to do this without having him run afoul of the Paladin 6/Knight of Holy Shielding 2 (who espouses that a true knight never deserts his sworn oaths willingly) or the other two PC's who hate thieves?

09-03-04, 10:26 AM Lawful Good dosen't exactly mean you go with the status quo. Perhaps your Paladin exiled himself to go and raise an army to take back his land.

Things like if you had seen the things I have seen you would not make such ignorant statements. I do not know what alignment restrictions you face, but maybe his code of honor still holds true, but his faith in society has collapsed.

or maybe he is like robin hood now. Lost his code of honor but has found faith in the lower classes of society and now fights for them.

Maybe go for a Chaotic Good fighter prestige class.

He would probably be very cynical of the paladin's views and law in general. He has found a new cause fueled by his pain.

Edit: Also probably picked up some rogue levels while he tried to survive after losing everything. Also when he met the people that helped him to find his new cause.
