To others, being cool is about doing awesome things, even if you're *not* awesome. It's about having the guts to stand up to the people that are bigger and stronger, and finding a way to defeat them. It's about personal sacrifice and sheer determination.



A paladin might be cool to the first group because he is awesomely mighty, wields the power of his god, and defends a village from a pack of demons.



The second group might think a paladin is cool because he stands up to a pack of demons attacking a village, giving them time to escape - even though he knows he will die in the process.
