Paladin because fuck you, you fucking dark fantasy edgelords.
Ngl I figured paladins would be the least popular in this thread, I see them as cops
You bought the edgelord cliche pushed up by the dark and grey fantasy flood https://dnd-5e-homebrew.tumblr.com/post/136812581995/oath-of-the-common-man-paladin-by

Roleplaying a hyper religious zealot makes a little more sense at least in universes where gods frequently interact with mortals and grant them magic powers. Maybe you can get your powers from the God of Socialism.

It's amazing how much a knight in shining armor can stand out among a bunch of dark cliches.
It's not even that i do hate all dark fantasy, i like it else i would't read Glen Cook or the 40k slop (i hate the wh fantasy books for some reason though). It's i've been tired by total takeover of the genre in last 40 years with no signs of any change. Also lack of imagination and "rozmach" (no idea of the word in english, something between momentum and epicness and scale, for example Black Company series have it perfectly balanced) in most books.
I feel the same way; I do enjoy some dark stories sometimes but for fuck's sake the "this isn't cookie cutter sunshine and rainbows" pitch is decades stale now. No one told the edgelords that the new "cookie cutter" is grimdark shit.
