There you go Tseng, the dictionary cannot fully apply to the fantasy world. It does not always give thorough definition or even a definition on some fictional creatures/persons/things.

Perhaps it was my failure to elucidate that I was speaking of Paladins in fiction, since after all we are playing in a game that supposedly is based on a fictional world. Hence, there is no need for debate on this any longer because I acknowledge it is very possible for a Paladin to be evil in the real world back in middle ages.

Yea I notice that but did you try to invert regular grey? Its not much of an inversion. :)
The point which you could obviously see is that not everything has to have an opposite.

Indeed it does not, but that point is irrelevant. Nobody said that Dark Paladins are the exact opposite of normal Paladins - they are only opposite in one basic aspect.

Read->Think->Post

Before you made that post, I had already stated that a Paladin is not an opposite of a Dark Paladin. Yes, Paladins don't have opposites. Nobody said that they do. However, 'light' has an opposite and that opposite can be used to describe a character similar to a Paladin but with an evil moral system. Like I said, the Dark overrides the default light.

No, because the entire identity of the necromancer is based around raising the dead. It's not something that can normally apply to light characters. Paladins just hit things with swords and cast spells - such concepts can easily apply to either good or evil intent.

This kind of semantic alteration may lead to some strange definitions, but that doesn't invalidate it. It's just simple manipulation of English.

Now we have establish that a “dark paladin” is not necessarily a complete opposite of a Paladin. So now, if not a complete opposite then its something else other then what you wish to create which is a dark paladin. It could be a Death Knight, Blackguard or a Necromancer. These three have opposite views of a Paladin and have unholy powers but however they are not Paladins. They are opposites or antis as we could say of a Paladin but they are not, and let me clearly say this once more to engrave this in all of you; they are not Paladins.


*Edited due to error in pasting*

That makes absolutely no sense.

Actually I established that a long time ago. You're only just catching up.

No, it's a partial opposite. Identical in many respects, but opposite in others. Just like a black pearl is not the opposite of a white pearl, but is still a pearl.

If you fail to see what I am saying; It is not that I’m not following that so delightful step-by-step posting procedure of yours but while your posting, I’m writing and have not seen what you’ve posted. I only see what your currently saying when I post because when you post which you obviously know, the internet explorer window refreshes the thread therefore allowing you to see the most recent post.

Edit: Ah see there we go again.

I haven't failed to see anything that you've said. You are the one that has consistently misunderstood my points and ignored my arguments. If you do not see what I have posted then it is your own fault. I'm not hiding my words or writing them in some kind of secret code, they're plainly visible to anybody with eyes.

You not understanding what I'm saying. Here I am writing a post but while I'm writing you've already posted and I didn't catch what you said. So I'm posting something that has already been establish in the previous post which I didn't see.

So here's an idea, Mr Genius:

Before posting, check to see if anybody else has posted anything more while you were typing.

Always happy to help.
