Should paladins donate? Options

[Sikret]

Since the Expanded Paladin Stronghold will probably be the next in the queue, I want to know your opinion about whether a paladin protagonist should be forced to donate a weekly amount of gold to the poor.

I'm only thinking of adding this feature for when the protagonist is a paladin. Should it be for any paladin kit or only for a new kit I will probably add to the game? Or do you think that such an idea is not really interesting at all? If you like the idea how much do you suggest as the donation rate? The poll contains both questions.

In either case, I will postpone implementing it to when I actually and completely add the Expanded Paladin Stronghold to the mod.

I would like it,. if the amount of gold one has to pay is something like this:
Lvl 1=250 gold
Lvl 2=500 gold
and so on.
In BGII you start with lvl 7 so you have to pay directly out of Irenicus dungeon 1750 gold. For the start of the game that is quite a sum so I think this kind of amount is reasonable.

You could also say that a lvl one paladin should donate a weekly amount of 500 gold, but at some point this will just begin too look silly. I don't recall having 3500 gold right after exiting Irenicus dungeon

Having a linear dependence like that doesn't make too much sense IMO just because the gain of wealth with levels is not linear e.g. a 10th level paladin has accumulated more than twice the wealth of a 5th level paladin (probably considerably more). By 'wealth' I don't just mean gp but value of equipment and so on.
