Description
Meet “Kelemvor Lyonsbane”, the half-elven paladin of the DnD party.

I have no idea on how you pronounce that name, but I digress. This character is played by Alex, who I don’t think realised how much hassle a Paladin can be for a party.

For those who don’t know, Paladins are practically the police of the DnD world. They enforce law and order and must always act good. That’s fine for the most part, but if the characters need to do something such as trespass, attack someone, steal something, lie, etc, then he is morally obliged to stop them. Even if it’s required to continue.

So many situations become more complicated because they then have to try and deceive the Paladin into OK-ing it/going somewhere else, etc.. We joke around with him, so it’s all fine. Now, I’m not used to drawing armour so this was a bit of a challenge for me. But, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

I wanted the armour to look practical, simplistic yet also showing an aura of importance about it. Rather than the typical WoW armours with shoulder pads that practically dwarf the users heads.
