Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enkhidu" data-source="post: 638773" data-attributes="member: 351">Paladins, at least in my book, are all about two words: uncompromising principles. This is easily applicable to the situation at hand.1. Paladins have detect evil for a reason - though it may not be the most "polite" thing to do, giving someone the eye with detect evil is the (if used correctly) surefire way for a pally to find out what he should oppose (based on what his god says is evil, of course - after all the god is the one allowing for the detect in the first place). If you haven't already detected evil in this instance you're wasting time.2. Evil must always be met head on - there is no room for compromise with real evil, and it must be stamped out at every opportunity. An immediate confrontation should take place if the evilness is confirmed.3. Defeating evil doesn't always mean destroying the vessel its in (the "you don't have to kill evil to beat evil" clause). If the pally feels he can redeem the Hextorite, then by all means try to do so! If the pally can get the Hextorite to repent of the thoughts in his heart and turn away from evil, then the pally has done an exemplary job! But (there's always a but), the paladin must know when to draw the line - if the Hextorite turns out to be evil and growing in evil power, then there truly is no hope for him, as he refuses to turn away from his dark paths. So: Detect, Confront, and smite evil (and, if necessary, Smite evil too).</blockquote>
