Are taxes too damn high? Is food in short supply, though the local lord feasts every day? Is a bourgeois dragon laying waste to your simple farmstead and collecting your precious belongings for his useless hoard? Are you being oppressed by a brutal tyrant or wealthy plutocrat who owns rights to everything conceivable, including your very life and liberty? Is The Man keeping you down? Sounds like you need a Paladin. A Paladin of the Common Man. Standing for the tenets of Equality, Togetherness, Respect, Change, and Labor, a paladin who has sworn the oath of the Common Man is a bastion of change, a defender of the impoverished, and a beacon of hope for a bright and eternally prosperous future. In this paladin's hand lies simple, honest progress, and in this paladin's heart beats a vision and passion that all commoners can rally behind, a chance at a better tomorrow that all can believe in. Paladins that take this oath are simple folk, known and beloved by all commoners and reviled by the tyrants who would oppress them. These paladins eschew complex, ornate armor in favor of functional, serviceable protection, well-kept with honest labor, and shining with the metaphorical (and often literal) light of equality for all.
