Throughout October, I'll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here's the prompts I'll be using.

You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I will always be amazed that bards have the reputation and not paladins. They're charisma casters with a healing touch, an inspiring aura, and immunity to disease.

That whole "Noble honor" thing.

A Paladin has the expectation of living up to a code, honor thyself and thy Deity aspect people lean in to.

Bards? Rockstar lifestyle, or that bit of intrigue. A Harper in the right bedchamber could find some fun things.

This is where you come in with a paladin of Sune, where their code of honour involves regular one night stands where you make sure your romantic partner for the night has the greatest night of their life. For you, it's Tuesday.

There was a campaign I ran many years ago where the predominant dwarven culture's religion involved dedication to "principles" rather than literal gods. There'd be temples of Industriousness, temples of Hospitality, and so forth.

A small but fairly popular one was the Temple of Hedonism. They had clerics of Hedonism that were called "Chaperones" and paladins of Hedonism that were called "Bouncers." They were serious business, and their serious business was to ensure that everyone else in the room was safe while they had a good time. When they were on duty they were very much not susceptible to seduction or temptation.

The party got on their bad side in a big way and for a part of the campaign were dogged by hit squads led by paladins of Hedonism, fleeing from town to town trying to get out of the region they had reach in. They weren't exactly afraid of the Hedonists but they knew things were about to get very uncomfortable when they caught up.

The Specific Compliance Oath of Ancients Paladin

Noble honour just means they take responsibility if they knock anyone up, and they never lie about what they intend for a relationship to be. I could probably go through every set of tenets and give an idea of how every paladin is in bed.

"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU SAID YOU WERE WEARING PROTECTION!"

"I WAS WEARING MY ARMOR!"

I mean oath of the ancients though

Nothing gets some folks feeling the light quite like getting to ride a knight's face for a turn

Paladin massages would so next level it's honestly hard to imagine.

If you fall in love with a paladin, you're smitten by them.

Konsi will agree that when it comes to Razira, it's not just her smites that are divine, if you know what I'm saying.

It's also the lay on hands and the relentless endurance.

It also helps that they can Bless somebody whenever they sneeze.

Or smote if they don't like you back

I've always said that druids have the most horny potential.

Wait Razira is a paladin? I thought she's a warrior

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, that's how she was introduced :)

Her statblock is as an NPC sidekick paladin, so she has a much reduced kit from a full paladin.
