[QUOTE="nonamazing, post: 1566454, member: 12118"] [SIZE=1](Okay, this is cool--I like this).[/SIZE] My Lord, I am Titian Kerrick, follower of Heironeous. My judgement is that the paladin in question should recieve a slight chastisement, perhaps a temporary loss of his powers until he reconsiders his role as a paladin. Why? Not because he slew the varlet--that was a righteous act (although subdual would have been acceptable). And not because he slew him from behind--although questionable, that was hardly enough to merit punishment. No, it was because of what he [I]did not[/I] do, what any paladin in this or any similar situation must always do first: put themselves into the path of danger. Before anything else, the paladin should have made sure that he was between the victim and the attacker, ready to protect the child at the cost of his own life if need be. As it turned out, the man was no serious threat to the paladin. But he was a threat to the child. And as protectors of the weak, we must always make it clear that we stand, both literally and metaphorically, between those who threaten and those who are threaten. Lord Titain Kerrick, currently in special service to his high shining holiness, Heironeous. [/QUOTE]
