How does Sup Forums feel about the Paladin? Or any other similar holy classes like a Cleric, Crusader and Templar?

Bullying innocent skeletons is cruel.

They're fine in PnP but I don't think they're properly treated in vidya, mainly because religion in general is not really properly treated or explored in vidya

Monk is best

Like chaff before the wind.

Blame the fedora writers. Dragon Age and Pillars of Eternity is insulting when it comes to templars/paladins.

I love these types of classes for some reason.
Which game does it best? I really like Dark Souls 1 for holy builds.
>claymore with sunlight blade
>paladin or brass armor
>sanctus shield

What games have a similar experience, if any?

Tanks and healers are my two favorite roles in RPGs so naturally a mix of the two would be my favorite class.

Skyrim has a fuckton of nice paladin mods. But it's Skyrim so you'll have to mod pretty much everything to make it enjoyable.

This looks so fucking silly

It's extravagant, yeah. I posted it because it reminds me of OP's pic.

Where my Paladiniggas at?

Skeletons are unholy abominations and must be purged, absolutely no exceptions.

>They're fine in PnP

Yeah cause the GM forcing you into trolley problems whenever he gets the chance to make you fall is such a fun time.

feels good cleansing the impure

Skellingtons did nothing wrong. Necromancers are the vile ones.

I feel most people who make threads about paladins have autism.
Nobody gives a shit what other thinks about an rpg class. If you like it, like it. Stop being autistic.

paladins are a shit class
only moralfags play them

best class is edgy sneaking backstabbing thief

>can't comprehend people discussing things they enjoy
You have autism user.

Why is it every thread there's that one faggot that unironically wants to be the fedora tipping, nine inch nails listening edgy faggot?

because it's fun

I too remember early 2005's but being an edgy faggot isn't fun or cool anymore.

>please validate my rpg class that I use to define myself, which every game/story does differently without any set rules, so the topic is retarded in the first place

>calls others autists
I think it's time to race reality, user.

don't act like you what's cool

Paladin is not the class that attracts the most autists, but the ones it does attract are the most insufferable ones

What are some games where I can play as a dark knight/blackguard/anti-paladin?

>spiraling into political ideological semantics over dnd class
try actually reading a book once in your lifetime instead

>please validate
Yep. You have autism.

Stop being a fedora tipping edgelord.

Gayass fag better play a pure martial.

What?

I meant it like Paladins are figurative faggots and it's better to play an actual pure warrior that doesn't have to beg for figurative god cock.

Who /ranger/ here?

Exclusive bow-users need not apply. A true ranger is more versatile than a glorified archer.

...

It actually is.
There's nothing quite like a Paladin for being your personal shit GM canary.
Remember that some GMs can hide their shittiness for a while until you get sunk costed into staying, or slowly go to shit while you hope it gets better.
If you roll a paladin and get railroaded into falling, you've potentially saved weeks, or even months, of shit games

Warriors make shitty tanks because they lack the holy magic needed to pummel and purge unholy and wicked fags and also self heal to take punishment. Also

>Paladin+Cleric
>you can now take on the entire fucking planet

I like them. It isn't my main class but they're always dependable.

paladin was my favourite class

until i played astrologian

Name some good games I can play a Paladin in

a true ranger wouldn't be out adventuring, a true ranger would tend to a forest all year so people can ride through, maintaining the dirt/ground so no big roots stick out, and everything is visible and not overgrown

>Warriors make shitty tanks because they lack the holy magic needed to pummel and purge unholy and wicked fags and also self heal to take punishment. Also
>tanking for band of losers instead of avoiding damage for yourself
>needing healer instead of relying on your natural health regeneration or life drain
>all that while doing massive DPS

>my wife's elvish son the class

Ranger's are Druid's slaves.

p-please guys i just want to slay some heathens

LUMBERFOOTS GET OUT

Diablo 2 springs to mind.
Baldur's Gate, as well. Bonus points for being among the strongest and most useful classes in the game.

What's a Paladin?

That sounds really fucking gay holy shit.
