Michael, I disagree with some of your points, and in the interest of not hijacking the thread further perhaps we should discuss this via e-mail?

Plane Sailing, Sorry but I honestly don't see it as an apology. Over 5000 posts, skims over a thread at 3 in the morning, then makes a lengthy post with rude/snide comments directed at me. Strikes me more a lame excuse. Question for you; I reported his post about 12 hours ago, no response from...

I would just like to mention that my 14 year old daughter found this highly amusing. (she kept giggling something about literature) To use your own phrase; Michael, you are so wrong on so many levels it isn't funny.

Michael, Are you saying I am totally wrong, and deserve automatons for players for this? I confess to being totally, and completely baffled by your response. Ravlek

Does/would anyone care for me to elaborate on post#14?

From post #13 (from Starman to me) I would like to take this chance to apologize to Starman for not expressing my appreciation for his post earlier. Starman, A thousand pardons. :o Ravlek

From post #12, which was mine incidentally; Quote: Originally Posted by Starman Sometimes, just sometimes, a strict adherence to the rules can get in the way of a good story. When that happens, jettison the rules. Starman I thought I made that point earlier. From post #8 (my fourth post in...

Now if Shark will fill us in on the juicy details... <Ravlek passes around the milk and cookies in anticipation> Legal Disclaimer: No chocolate chips were actually harmed during the posting of this post.

Lord Pendragon; Well stated. Unfortunately simple agreement doesn't make for an interesting discussion, so... :) If we alter your example slightly; Paladin of St.Mercy: "Now, foul priest of bane, prepare to..." Cleric: "Mercy!" You can make a good case for requiring the paladin to grant...

From one of my earlier posts in the thread: From another of my posts (after the previous one): If she helps the party on an adventure, she is an associate, not necessarily a trustworthy one. We still don't know yet. "Drusilla seemed quite sincere." If true, she is an associate. If it was a...

What you or I call it is irrelevant. The DM running the campaign makes that ruling, based on his/her campaign. If the DM rules that's how the 'law' views it, then that is how they view it. It will vary, two sides to the coin. As I stated earlier, I can see it going both ways. Once again from...

I just skimmed over the PHB entry for paladins, didn't see anything relative to giving them the right to grant mercy. Possibly I missed it. No clue regards DotF. A case of YDMMV.

A paladin who gives shelter/harbors a known 'felon' isn't acting honorably. There is always two sides to every coin. :)

Sorry for the confusion. Proper=Legitimate(in accordance with the code). This could be the local/national government, or religous authorities. Yet another interesting ramification. With regards to a high level paladin, certainly in my campaigns. Of course others may be different.

The paladin's code from the SRD; Code of Conduct: A paladin must be of lawful good alignment and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits an evil act. Additionally, a paladin’s code requires that she respect legitimate authority, act with honor (not lying, not cheating, not using...
