The campy version is just the "Good is Dumb" paladin.
Comic book, Frank Miller or Christopher Nolan Batman is just as good a Paladin, maybe better because he actually has things to struggle with besides this week's villain.

Dunno "the Dracula", but Gizmo is a "Combat Pragmatist" at best, because we do not see enough of the character. Those who read the book are aware that Gizmo is supposed to be "without sin", but the movies lack a moral imperative for the character.
D&D 4E Herald and M:tG Rules Advisor I expect posters to follow the Code of Conduct, use Basic Etiquette, and avoid Poor Logic. If you don't follow these guidelines, I consider you to be disrespectful to everyone on these forums. If you respond to me without following these guidelines, I consider it a personal attack. I grew up in a bilingual household, which means I am familiar with the difficulties in adopting a different vocabulary and grammar. That doesn't bother me. Persistent use of bad capitalization, affirming the consequent, and flaming bother me a great deal. Rule that I would change: 204.1b
Show
204.1b Some effects change an object’s card type, supertype, or subtype but specify that the object retains a prior card type, supertype, or subtype. In such cases, all the object’s prior card types, supertypes, and subtypes are retained. This rule applies to effects that use the phrase “in addition to its types” or that state that something is “still a [card type].” Some effects state that an object becomes an “artifact creature”; these effects also allow the object to retain all of its prior card types and subtypes.
"Eight Edition Rules Update"
We eventually decided not to change this template, because players are used to “becomes an artifact creature,” and like it much better. Players were used to Combat on the Stack, but you got rid of that because it was unintuitive. The only phrase needed is "in addition to its types"; the others are misleading and unintuitive.

Elliot Ness in Kevin Costner's Untouchables is the quintessential modern Lawful Good Paladin.

Here's an odd example of a mean paladin: Severus Snape.
He's not a perfect paladin but he has paladinesque qualities.
1. He has a code of loyalty to Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, as well as to the memory of Lily Potter.
2. He is uncompromising in his standards.
3. He is fearless.
Granted, Snape broke a few of his own rules, but he's a good example of a bad person who 'changed alignments' to Lawful Good.
I'd grant Snape Paladin status, and I'd say he's Lawful, but I wouldn't say he's ever been Lawful Good. He undertakes too many morally ambiguous actions to be anything but Lawful Neutral. Maybe if you've got high standards, you could call him Heroic Evil (my term for any Evil character who is on the side of the angels), but I don't think Snape could be considered evil.
A good Lawful Evil example of a Paladin is Magneto. He never compromises, fears nothing and he will fight unswervingly for his cause. The problem is that he's a murderer, possibly in favor of genocide (often depending on the writer) and has no problem ruling his own people with an iron fist.

Michael Carpenter from the Harry Dresden books is a great example of a paladin. He first appears in the volume Grave Peril.

I suggest that Severus Snape is an Unaligned Paladin of Ioun. A Seeker of Knowledge, Severus Snape has come to believe in the utter power of the mind over everything else. He has nothing but contempt for those that do not maximize knowledge as their weapon.
He is deeply ashamed of the emotional ties he holds to the world and keeps those emotional ties secret almost to the exclusion of all else. His opposition of Voldemort is incidental. His true passion is knowledge and skill.

Yes, but can he fight with a sword, mace or hammer?
