[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1955755, member: 198"] Sorry you think this is/was a troll. The reason I posted and made it a poll was because I was curious to see people's opinions/responses and because I thought it would make for an interesting discussion (which, on the whole, I think we've been having - except when a few people take exception to others' opinions). And I'm really not concerned about persuading anybody that my opinion about the character is "right". As for the context, part was left out to create more ambiguity and basis for discussion/analysis and partly because it would have been really, really long if I added more. Fair enough. I figure this is subjective. I don't see anything about him lacking either. His purpose is still to do what all other paladins do. He just also happens to some things they don't. And he's devoted to his deity. I'm not sure what you mean by consigned (which generally means to be handed over into someone else's hands/control/care). Do you mean he's consigned to his deity's care or the paladin's path? I don't see where he's not brave. He's not stupid, yes, since he realises there are things out there which he cannot defeat, but he will fight them nevertheless. Seems brave to me. I'd see him as choosing to answer the call, while being fully cognizant of what it entails. So as long as the girls are not being harmed or enslaved, and he makes sure to protect the staff while present, that would be fine, right? All in all, considering his response to and interaction(however limited) with the girls and madam, evidently they do not offend his moral code. As I said before, fair enough. I'm just mentioning my take on it for the purposes of discussion. Actually I was shooting for a paladin who's achieved the perfect (or, according to some, perfectly imperfect :D) balance. He has a completely open-eyed understanding of what he does. He knows he is just one good man in an inimical universe. He knows his actions are quite likely to be futile in the long run. And he still chooses to act as he should, simply because it is what he should. How much more moral can you get? [/QUOTE]
