YAATSNBN is Yet Another Abomination That Shall Not Be Named. A Term used to refer to the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game (produced) by Wizards of the Coast, used primarily by those who prefer the earlier (TSR-produced) versions. It is a tongue in cheek play on the abbreviation TETSNBN and TATSNBN. Pronounced "Yats Bin".

Get the D&D mug.A Paladin is a character class created for OD&D the Original Dungeons & Dragons. All paladins must be Lawful (Lawful Good). All other alignments are only applied to paladins in inferior versions of D&D(Dungeons & Dragons) and other cheap inferior ripoffs of D&D(Dungeons & Dragons). Properly played Paladins are never Lawful Stupid - that only results from having a bad DM and bad players.
Playing a Paladin correctly in the real spirit of the game is something to which all roleplayers should aspire.

When you think of a Paladin, think of sweet combination of Batman and Superman in regard to character.
