Just so we are clear if I as a law-abiding upstanding member of society ever find you ABOUT to commit a crime, with compelling circumstancial evidence that you have in the past committed a crime I am well within my rights to walk up behind you unsheath my weapon and slice your head off ...

Did you miss this paragraph I didn't say it didn't matter. Her being further traumatized by seeing it again is less offensive than if he were stealing her maidenhood. I also never said you must turn him over to the authorities espescially ones you know to be corrupt (in which case the paladin...

Right but the only "weapon" the perp was holding in this particular case was his "magic wand of child defilement" He was unarmed, and no challenge was announced. The child had already been sullied so it wasn't like he was currently "taking" her maidenhood, besides I am fairly certain that when...

But thats the rub it was in no way honorable to kill him from behind after spying on him. Forcibly turning him around to face you and justice would negate his attacking and killing the girl, as would tossing him out the door he just walked through, or punching him with a heavy steel covered...

Lethal force from behind is still not honorable. Both the PHB and BOED say that LG characters are HONORABLE and compassionate. By the way of thinking I am seeing exhibited here any paladin that walks into a town with detect evil up SHOULD kill everything that glows with no thought of redeeming...

Still though I can't see those actions (which are tantamount to torture) as being "good" they are definately chaotic though.

Then again my responses could be because I kind of like the whole "pardon me I will be kicking your butt now" kind of thing. Of course someone could argue that in order to be sure the perp was going to actually do what it looked like he was going to do the Paladin had to watch, wait for him to...

My goodness, we can honorably sneak up behind someone and run them through without warning now ? pray tell HOW is that honorable ?

No different at all. you do not smite evil no matter the form quietly and from behind if you are a paladin. The fact that it was FROM BEHIND makes all the difference in the world to me. Even more than the perp being unarmed (coulda had monk levels or something) Doesn't matter a bit that he...

So tell me oh most learned one. If you make a weapon holy and then leave it rusting on a porch somewhere exactly what good is it accomplishing on it's own ?

The difference In my opinion is honor. Striking an unarmed, defenseless, unknowing, obviously weaker foe from behind is not honorable. I wouldn't say you have to take him to the authorities, or that you have to accept his surrender to you but you can not go around smiting people from behind.

If I am making a trip attack (using the free one I get for doing 10 points of damage and having the knockdown feat if any of that matters) and I have improved trip does my opponent get a chance to trip me back if I fail ? The feat description mentions that if you get multiple attacks you just...

Anything lacking in intelligence and wisdom can not have any alignment other than neutral. If a thing can not form intent it can uphold the law no more effectively than it can break it neither can it on it's own effect the balance between morality and immorality.

pretty sure the only fet I saw that looked like that in BoED was one that was like weapon finesse but used wis instead. Intuative attack. Use wisdom instead of strength for attack rolls. I hope I am wrong and missed something. But if not it is still a "free" feat for an ascetic so they can use a...

Wel lets see the description starts off with "All tatoos are magical and the abilities they bestow are supernatural." So right off the bat you are getting something added to you that you didn't have that is magical. Some of the effects are : Raise constitution, dex,wisdom, charisma ; If that...

double post sorry

But see you "possess" a crossbow it is an item. It is something outside of yourself that you own. I wouldn't have an issue at all with Darrin saying "no quarterstaff or other weapon can be imbued without breaking the VoP because it becomes a magical item. Saying unarmed strike is disallowed as...

Celt can you explain why tatooed monk is allowed then ?

Not to try to discredit your opinion or Darrin's for that matter, I just want to be able to comprehend it all. Why then are Tatooed monks Tatooes which are also a class ability, emulate spells, and posessed in much the same manner a monks body are (even moreso since they need to be acquired from...

But but but. If it comes from the makers of the rules how can it be wrong 8). (no I am not really that niave but seriously doesn't the buck have to stop somewhere)
