	Here is a favorite Paladin story of mine, probably because
	of my leanings towards CN(rather evil).

	In a past Dragon issue it discussed saints, one of them had
	the following background.  Sweet and short:

	The Paladin was of 15th level and in a campaign where something
	like a Moorcock scenario was going on, where evil was making
	a desperate bid for power.  In a bid for more power the Paladin
	released HORDES of Mammoth Eviltude upon the relative plane
	the gambit was on.  To combat other saints of a more good nature
	the Lords of Hell etc. rewarded the fallen paladin and made him
	into the King of the Death knights!  Stats to be found in Dragon.

	Regarding familiars.  I don't mean to push my own ideas down
	your throats but why not add a hit die to all such spells- or
	allow the spell to be cast where the familiar is via the psychic
	link! (cf. Projected Image).  Something like: "that little black
	cat just threw a fireball!!"  Or, "you don't know what happened
	but the where you once were standing there is now just a large
	pit..." in the case of a high level illusionist npc foe.


	Thoughts?
