Paladin's suck actually (hexbear.net)

Started a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough (I pirated it because of course), and decided to roll a Paladin, as to roleplay a class struggle oriented fighter against oppression, next thing I know I'm stuck with a whole bunch of silly ass moral codes and liberal bullshit.

In the end the aristocratic ass elf that you can get as a companion is doing all the hard work not to break the RP of my main character and I'm hardly using it for the fun things (assassinating class enemies).

All I want is smiting slavers and oppressive assholes in the face regardless of their race, even if it means smashing a couple humans in too for their anti-goblin bullshit, with a shiny big hammer weilded by an ungenderable working class paragon.

Edit: credit given to credit due: BG3 has a really good character editor that really allows to fucking around with gender quite well Also Edit: props to Paizo with Pathfinder then, that's the way to do it.

The oath for lawful good Champions specifically states that Good trumps Lawful in every case, so it doesn’t matter if you’re “out of your jurisdiction”. Characters with an oath to destroy certain creature types aren’t obligated to perform kamikaze charges against impossible odds or pointlessly murder a token Good aligned example of that monster, either.

The most restrictive Champion is probably the Neutral Good one, since they have the whole Steven Universe “everyone gets a second chance, no matter how dumb the offer is” thing going on. Their smite is replaced with an automatic counter-attack though, so refusing is a bad idea.
