i was watching the south park episode on lord of the rings and thought of this for some reason. there's a lot of ways i could of put it. i'm not sure why i did it this way O.o
@Night_Watch: could you kindly point me to the original art of your last meme?
At everyone: not everybody knows how to properly upload an image here, from an HDD, so here's the tip:
1- Click on "Attach a file"; 2- Click on "Browse..."; 3- Select the desired file in your HDD; 4- When the file has uploaded completely you should see a preview thumbnail: hover your cursor on that thumbnail, you will see two options, "Insert" and "Delete"; 5- Click on "Insert": this will create a link to the uploaded image on Vanilla servers (< img src...>), so you can see it at proper resolution; 6- Click on "Delete": this will erase the thumbnail, leaving only the full sized image.

That's all!
This is much better than the method proposed in the first page of this thread, because it doesn't require an external hosting site.
Blackguards. They are Evil, Overpowered paladins, they don't loose they class because of Rep loss and they get an ability that deals 2 damage per lvl, and heals 2 HP per lvl, at lvl 8, its better than Lay on Hands, and Rebuke Undead lets you control undead instead of destroying they.

@Night_Watch There is a PNG version of the Gandalf vs. Balrog image which has no losses in it. I used to make a canvas painting for my living room which turned out great.

Beware the jpg-versions though ^^
good point thanks for the heads up, i had completely forgotten about the differences between the two. i'll pay more attention to that from now on.
Not long ago there's been a BALDURSGATA photo but today I've found THIS
Baldur (pronounced “BALD-er;” Old Norse Baldr, Old English and Old High German Balder) is one of the Aesir gods. He’s the son of Odin and Frigg, the wife of the obscure goddess Nanna, and the father of the god Forseti.
OMG!
<....>He’s loved by all the gods, goddesses, and beings of a more physical nature. So handsome, gracious, and cheerful is he that he actually gives off light.
The meaning and etymology of his name are uncertain and have been the topic of intense scholarly debate. Numerous possibilities have been proposed, including a derivation from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhel- (“white”), Old Norse bál, “fire,” or a hypothesized word for “lord” common to various Germanic languages. The most straightforward – and probably correct – explanation, however, is that his name comes from the Old Norse word baldr, “bold.” Scholars have been reluctant to accept this explanation due to its implication of a warlike character for Baldur. But as we’ll see below, Baldur may not have been as innocent and passive as he’s portrayed to be in the late Old Norse literary source that provides the most extensive description of the god and the tales in which he features <....>
<....> Reerences to Baldur are scarce. He’s mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon chronicle (where he’s given the additional name Bældæg, “The Shining Day,” and described as a son of Woden, the Old English name for Odin). Another brief reference to him can be found in the so-called Second Merseburg Charm from continental Germany, which comes from a manuscript that dates from the ninth or tenth century CE.
While we know relatively little about Baldur due to the fragmentary nature of the sources of our knowledge of pre-Christian Germanic religion, he evidently occupied a position of renown and splendor in the hearts and minds of the heathen Germanic peoples. He seems to have been regarded as the divine animating force behind the beauty of life at the peak of its strength and exuberance. His death marks the beginning of the decline into old age, night, winter, and ultimately the death and rebirth that characterize Ragnarok.
Ase worshiping is still an officially recognized religion in Iceland and Baldursgata (meaning Baldur Street) is almost certainly named after Baldur.
When Baldur had disturbing dreams, his mother made all animals and plants swear they wouldn't harm her boy; however because the mistletoe is so small and insignificant she forgot to speak to it. Loki made a spear of mistletoe and tricked Baldur's brother Hödr into throwing it at Baldur, killing him. In Danish, the idiom "Swearing in the mistletoe" ("Tage misteltenen i ed") means to remember to take everything into account. If somebody has forgotten to swear in the mistletoe, it means they forgot a small (but crucial!) detail. Example:
Did you know that a Mind Flayer can be charming and attractive and can have an astonishing magnetic personality? Now it's a fact. It's a proven science fact.
I want to know how they swung the paladin hard enough to hit Drizzt for any kind of damage. I mean most paladins are bigger than a two handed sword, and they aren't very wieldy to carry on your back.
@the_spyder: Paladins are self-transporting, so they don't take up inventory space and they don't weigh you down. To use a paladin as a weapon, quaff a Potion of Cloud Giant Strength, then pick up the pally and swing away.

Lucky hit with a Trebuchet loaded up with the Paladin. He had both arms tied behind his back.
