Paladins Repenting

[Lymus]

Paladins are holy warriors. Meant to serve their diety with their blade and smite evil. However, it's common to see paladins slaughtering those who do not even present a negative-karma.

So, my idea was to make paladins seem a little bit more in line with their lore, we could make it for every murder count, the paladin must "repent" to a shrine somehow in order to regain their paladin abilities. I'm not sure how this would work, but I just wanted to throw out the idea.

Or how about when a paladin commits a murder, they instantly lose all their karma and become evil?

That doesn't happen to my mage when he kills you. Sure, he looses a lot of karma. But Evil is -10000 karma. And Desafiai has 25 murder counts and is considered Glorious.

Lymus, great idea.
As a chiv archer i'd be extremetly happy with this kind of thing
Just what ive been waiting for, could we also do it so that we lose the insurance on the items? Plus we could not enter any good towns, as we would be counted evil, guards would attack us on sight.

ALSO lets make it so that when you die once you lose all the honor, as dieing isnt honorable.

Same with hunting like blood eles, it isnt honorable cause blood eles got families too.

This system is really already in. Look at my necro paladin. He does necro which is evil, so his chiv does not work as well as that of a true paladin with high karma. Most of the chiv spells such as dispel evil I can't use on that char since he's evil.

OSI pretty much fixed the system, you lose karma for casting necro spells, in order for necro spells to get more damage karma is needed also spirit speak.

Paladins will fail spells with negative karma and heal less.

yeah so you can have chiv and necro, but you have to pick one to be your primary, basically. Making necro primary is easiest in most cases.
