Gimble the Gnome Bard = Angus Young? :heh:

Possible, but I think Locke's a lot more interested in seeing whether or not Henry entered the numbers while he was trapped beneath the blast door.

The psychic pretty much insisted the Claire had to be on Flight 815 when she made a comment about not being ready to go to L.A. on such short notice. I think she also mentioned to Charlie that she believed the psychic had known the plane was doomed to crash.

Yep, very late on Sunday night. I can't believe there isn't more of a buzz on EN World about this show. Very amusing show.

Not exactly. Casting the spell means that the paladin has chosen before-the-fact to do something deceptive (mask his true alignment). If someone casts Detect Good on him suspecting a paladin, he doesn't register as Good. That's different from someone asking him, "Are you a paladin?" and him...

The fact that Undetectable Alignment is on the paladin spell list proves that a certain amount of evasion/misdirection is not against the paladin code of conduct.

Waste 3 whole rounds??!! When there's evil that needs smiting??!! Heavens NO! Hell, a real paladin shouldn't waste 3 rounds going to get his sword and armor! If evil comes a-knocking at his door, he should smite it then and there, in his pjs, bare-handed (preferably by disabling it first and...

Or maybe it's one of the Others, messing with his mind. When the tail-sectioners were attacked, the Others had a list with names on it; Ethan could easily have provided a similar list. And it was Michael--not whoever's at the other terminal--who IDed himself first.

I'd turn on Fox, wait until "When Monkeys Attack" comes on, and then see if anything registered in the little bit of gray matter between the guy's two pointy ears. ;)

I guess I'm somewhere between the gung-ho positive replies and the flat-out negative one. I don't see where Consequence #3 is anything but trouble down the line, but I like the way that you made the paladin the judge at the halfling's trial, giving him another chance to do "justice" upon...

No it doesn't. What you've done is switched your emphasis from respect legitimate authority to respect legitimate authority. An authority that routinely has children killed would not be respected or acknowledged by a LG paladin in the first place, and thus would not be legitimate to him. The...

Maybe, or maybe he was simply testing the paladin. And the paladin's not screwed for being a paladin--it didn't come down to a choice of A) Snap a captured halfling's neck and lose your paladin powers, or; B) Don't snap a halfling prisoner's neck and still lose his paladin powers. The DM...

For simplicity (and because I have no idea how to quote multiple sources in one reply), allow me to direct you to the compilation of the original poster's posts - Post #462, middle of page 12 of this thread. Here's some of his responses, ones I think help prove my point. "The paladin (who...

That's a Cartman argument. Wearing a nice sweater doesn't make you nice. Saying that you respect something doesn't mean that you actually respect it. Please give me a reason why the legitimate authority doesn't need to be respected in this case.

How, exactly, does he slip the "respect legitimate authority" part of the noose? So far, I don't recall seeing a good explantion on this point.

I....[Sniff!]...I didn't get my own side. :( Guess I'll just have to settle for being Heironeous' Executive Assistant and fact-checker. "Um...sir...actually, your favored weapon is the longsword...yes, here it is, sir. And I'm not sure what you just called yourself...and it's probably not...

This doesn't make sense to me. Why does the paladin have to make sure that the halfling's not the mastermind if he chooses to turn him over to the authorities, yet he doesn't have to bother making that determination if he instead chooses to take the halfling's life himself??!! That makes it a...

Tony, I think you're talking more about paladins in general while most of us bashing the particular paladin in this thread are, well, bashing a particular paladin. I know that I've been careful to do so (most of the time). :) You don't like the...

Very interesting. I come to the exact opposite conclusion: that the paladin's social status may be enough for the authorities to look the other way when it comes to any broken laws in regards to the halfling's death, but Heironeous would know the truth of the matter and probably not take too...

Before we creep back into the realm of wife kidnapping/murder.... Heironeous' most important tenets are: Honor, Chivalry, Valor , and Justice. No Mercy on his list.
