I like to keep Paladins rare, but they're virtually impossible to qualify for using any sort of "roll in order" attribute generation, which is my preferred method. In order to mitigate the problems of qualifying, I've added these two "Paladin Rules" to make it possible, but still interesting:
In order to mitigate the problems of qualifying for Paladinhood when rolling attributes "in order", the following options are available:
1. Poverty is Next to Godliness
The character spends years in a isolated monastery. Swap any attribute with CHA. Sacrifice 10% of your starting money as a tithe.
2. Judged and Found Lacking
Flaggelation, fasting and other allows the character an opportunity increase their Charisma, but the scars may persist. Roll 4d6. Take the 3 highest dice as your Charisma if it will allow you to qualify as a Paladin. If not, take the three lowest dice as your Charisma score.
As a bonus, here's a summary of the Paladin rules:
- Required Attributes: Strength 12, Wisdom 12, Charisma 15
