[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 414423, member: 7464"] There are those situations where the characters (assuming they are good in this case) are really perplexed and can't decide what is the "right and good" course of action. Or post situations that, no matter what he does, the paladin will lose his paladinhood. If you actually used the situation, also mention what the characters really did. Please, debate as little as possible. 1 - (the classic) Does the party kill the crying kobold young and the females cowering over them? They all detect as evil. [i]What my party did[/i]: Yes. They decided kobolds were inherently evil and that letting them live is like failing to wipe out as much of a disease as you can when you have the chance. 2 - A paladin (NPC) is approached by a party that, paradoxically, detects as some good/some evil. They all seem to be aware of each others nature. The city has been over run with demons coming out of a portal which only a paladin or cleric can close. They tell him they want to close the portal and need his help. He has tried to get to it before but knows that the portal is too well guarded for a single paladin to get near enough to close it. He needs the partys help if he want to save the town, but some of them are evil and his code forbids him from helping them. [i]What he did[/i]: Agreed to help us. He concluded that losing his Paladinhood was a worthy price to pay for saving the town, and he could always go up against the evil party members after the larger crisis was averted. [/QUOTE]
