I touched on the mechanics of how paladins gain and use their power without an intermediary deity before, if that's what you were meaning? I can try to go into a bit more detail on that, but we begin to run out of material for the specifics once you get that close in. I can talk about the intention of the philosophy, but I won't have any documents to point at or reference to back that up.
Oh no need. I was merely curious about where you fell on the issue of paladins having the option of a patron deity. smile To me this is very basic to a D&D RPG, and Larian not including this in BG3 is just one more way in which this game has been a gigantic disappointment as a Baldur's Gate/Forgotten Realms RPG.
