[QUOTE="res, post: 1564342, member: 6904"] Wow, this is a big can of worms. What deity does your Paladin worship? I guess the punishment really depends on your god. [i]Helm[/i] - being the God of Protection, you could probably argue that you were protecting the girl. [i]Torm[/i] - you are to strive to maintain law and order, strike quickly and forcefully against the rot of evil [i]Tyr[/i] - Uphold the law wherever you go and punish those who do wrong under the law. I took those from Faiths and Pantheons for FR (under the dogma) those are the usual big 3 Paladin religions. For a Paladin to loose their abilitie they have to a) cease being Lawful Good, b) willfully commit an evil act or c) grossly violates the code of conduct. I wouldn't say you did either a or b. Maybe a strike against you for under a. If you were a follower of Helm or Torm, I'd let you go. If you were a follower of Tyr, you're screwed. You should probably have detained this man and made sure he got a fair trial. If you followed Tyr, you definatly should have done that and your GM was right to strip you of your powers (assumeing the law is innocent until proven guilty, or if the penalty for child molestation was not death, etc.) Helm can chalk this kill up to defending the innocent. You definatly did that. Torm can attribute this to your duty to strike quickly and maintain the law. If you are a worshiper of someone else, well, I just wasted your time. Did this help? [/QUOTE]
