| d6 | I became a paladin because... |
| 1 | A fantastical being appeared before me and called on me to undertake a holy quest. |
| 2 | One of my ancestors left a holy quest unfulfilled, so I intend to finish that work. |
| 3 | The world is a dark and terrible place. I decided to serve as a beacon of light shining out against the gathering shadows. |
| 4 | I served as a paladin's squire, learning all I needed to swear my own sacred oath. |
| 5 | Evil must be opposed on all fronts. I feel compelled to seek out wickedness and purge it from the world. |
| 6 | Becoming a paladin was a natural consequence of my unwavering faith. In taking my vows, I became the holy sword of my religion. |
