I am confused. More Lore and options the better? Or am I missing something? Why are people trying to argue that not having deities is fine???
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone argue against being able to pick a deity for our paladins, only that we should not be forced to pick a deity as it is not a requirement in 5e that every paladin is sworn to a god. But given that their relationship to their god will be fundamental for some paladins, I agree it’s important that we should be able to pick a deity for them if we wish to.
