Why is Carrier Squire a paladin?

He doesn't look like one.

 

Squires generally serve to assist knights. Knights are paladins. So he is a paladin.

 

Squires are in training to become knights, but haven't yet become one. it does seem off to me.

 

A servant doesn't become a king just because he's serving the king.

 

Knights are knights though... aren't they???

I mean in Pox... Knights are a thing in their own right. They don't equate to Paladins.

 

The difference is that a servant serving a king knows he will never be a king. A squire is usually the child of a knight or noble training to become a knight. Squire is a paladin because he is a member of their order albeit the lowest rank possible.

 

Carrier squire is a paladin because even if he's in training yet, he shares the religious views of the order and that allows him to receive the blessings of the gods (or just Al'Mara?) and he's trained enough to receive the instruction of the commanders (able to benefit from commander paladin and others) that's my opinion.

 

Does this mean you're thinking about removing the Knight class?

 

Nah, Knights are Knights. Paladins are Paladins. Check the classes in the checklist we got'm both.

 

,as far as skill set, they would mostly be equal, ,, but a pally usually serves some religious/divine order above all things, , a holy warrior one might say..
while a knight will usually service a king whether the king be just or not... a paladins order are usually quite strict,, not even allowed to amass wealth.
while you can have a free lance knight who serves no particular banner,,, a true pally would never consider this.
and the squire even tho not having yet received his title, would be considered a knight in training... for gaming purposes a squire in the knight class is totally feasible.

barbarians and humans?,,, now that makes my skin itch..

 

Cause IS is OP

 

The question is why is barbarian a race.

And why is inquisitor magnus a barbarian, human?

is his mom a barbarian and his dad 'civilised' her or is his dad a barbarian who pillaged her village and kidnapped her?

 

Because barbarians, despite formerly being humans, can't be called that anymore as their environment( Sarnghaver) changed them permanently. Just like Jakei aren't elves, or Lonx aren't Garu. Only those who remained in Elsarin can be called humans, as they retained their original characteristics.

 

So whats the difference between a witch and a shaman? I think half the shamans better fit my idea of a witch - e.g. Witchdoctor

 

a witch gets flying from witching time.

 

Shamans draw their power from nature, Witches draw their power from the dark arts( DMZ, Foul Rites, etc).
