Actually, I made the Paladin to be the highest of evil fighters and Scions were winning - I like the underdog. I've never had a lightwalker, and paladins can be "tough" so I thought I'd all fit in that my highest goal would be to kill Liches. I was actually hoping to fight Dullameh because I wanted the other side. I've killed with him, now I wanted to fight him - it wasn't some sense of revenge, read my goodbye of Yasraena, I didn't give a #####. And yes, he's very skilled.

For the sake of little kids, I won't tell you to go ##### yourself. I'm still trying to learn here.

I can think of someway any other class can kill a Lich, but a paladin's only chance is to catch him convulsing and lagged-out. And when he becomes immune to everything you do, including your weapon, it gets REAL annoying.

I just wanted something with tactics. After having a ram, I wanted something with more options then just preps, and 2 skills and 2 sups.

I've had my share of being near the top, and what I wanted was something that could stand up to liches - seems any single lich with a brain can tapdance over the community. I just wanted something that could stand up to them, and I found myself running way too much.

I know, you seem to forget I fought next to all of you.

After Zulghinlour's post, I think "no goals" is better. And I guess I was wrong in thinking 2 virtues is standard.
