[QUOTE="Alynnalizza, post: 1564547, member: 18630"] *Chime* This is definitely interesting. Having given some thought to this issue. (And thought about adding a similiar situation in for one of my PC's now). I would have to rule that the Paladin keep his powers. The reasoning behind this is that there is no more of an honorable act than a Human Paladin saving a Human Child from pain and torture, regardless of whom is causing the pain. The DM in this instance stated that the evidence was clear of previous misgivings against the child, and the individual stated that he was 'going to teach another lesson'. Destroying evil is always number one on any of my list for a paladin to do. For the charges of "cowardly, unjust, and unlawul" I'll go one at a time. Cowardly: That is what the perp was doing, not the Paladin. There is a difference between cowardly and fair. (Sometime minor, but difference there is). This was an unfair fight, but so... A paladin was destroying evil. Unjust: I can't see this one, really. I would look more kind toward an invading orc ransacking and murdering half the town, then some perp getting his jollys off on the little girl. The Paladins action was very Just. Unlawful: This is the sticky one. Really depends upon the a: Religion, and b; Town Laws. With out more, can't really make a statement on this. If punishment must be handed out. Have the Paladin go with out spells for a tenday, if he violated the Religion by his swift death. Possibly include no lay on hands. If he violated town law, would a god, even for a paladin, worry about this. Let the town punish him. I personally think he should be left alone, but make sure the girl is WELL taken care of. Thanks. :) [/QUOTE]
