I was flipping through the latest 4th edition sourcebook, Heroes of Shadow, when something caught my eye. Now 4E isn't 3E or even 3.5E, it's harder to create flavorful character classes when PC's are lists of attacks. They've worked around that hurdle, somewhat successfully, by folding the vast array of 3rd edition classes into the less numerous, and more restrictive, 4th edition classes.

One such example was by making the blackguard into an alternate paladin. In 3rd edition, paladins and blackguards were seperate entities, considering paladins were a core class and blackguards were a prestige class. But to cut through all the game mechanic clutter, blackguards are now a subgroup of paladins drawing on vice instead of virtue. One such suggested vice is domination.

Yes, they have the advice on how to make a paladin of domination.

Do I even need to outline the erotic possibilites of such a dark warrior? Especially if such a warrior was an orc or a gnoll.

It also has a picture of a dwarf warlock in black leather and buckles wielding a cat-o-nine-tails. Bahamut help the poor DM who has to hear from a player "I bind the minotaur and whip him until he submits."
