[QUOTE="Agemegos, post: 1571547, member: 18377"] No, at [i]best[/i] my examples would have lead just as certainly to the rapist's death. At [i]worst[/i] the rapist would have been left for the paladinto deal with decisively and extra-legally if necessary. And without more information of the rapist's friends, associates, and family, you cannot say that his controversial death in a back room would not have led to a feud in which the victim and her family and their friends would die. While on the other hand, the paladin can always take the law into his own hands later if the local law turns out to be evil or ineffectual. [i]I[/i] am the one asking that the paladin seek information before taking precipitate action. No, but I can say that if the paladin had erred on the side of caution he would have been able to repair the error later, but by erring on the side of recklessness he risked ending up with a dead innocent, an untraceable pedophile ring, or an intractable feud to deal with. He could have secured that in another way, taking drastic action only if it turned out to be necessary. [/QUOTE]
