Seems like a simple question, but really. Can someone who is lawful good assassinate (Evil, cruel, unjust) people, or is that a strict no no? I liked the idea of a paladin / rogue of Hoar (Forgotten realms diety of vengence, Lawful Neutral) but I'm not sure if that is pushing it. I talked with my DM and he said he wasn't sure either so I thought I'd come here for input.
The character's targets would only be highly evil, tyrants, warlords, etc whom he belives have wronged the people enough to incur the wrath of Hoar. I really like the idea of him sneaking up behind the BBEG and whispering in his ear "Your sentence is served" before killing him....but again, not sure if I could get away with that as a Paladinl.
I could just as easily make him a cleric / rogue of Hoar but I really like the idea of the vigilante paladin seeking revenge for those who are wronged.
Code of Conduct: A paladin must be of lawful good alignment and loses all special class abilities if she ever willingly commits an act of evil. Additionally, a paladin's code requires that she respect legitimate authority, act with honor (not lying, not cheating, not using poison, etc.), help those who need help (provided they do not use the help for evil or chaotic ends), and punish those that harm or threaten innocents.
