[QUOTE="Enkhidu, post: 642782, member: 351"] Hey Crimslain, Since I started roleplaying my most rewarding roleplaying experiences have involved Paladins and PCs with personal codes of honor. Yes, its true that you have to put your roleplaying under the microscope, but I think that's what made it fun for me - succeeding in playing those roles well was more rewarding that any victory. Here's a few questions for you that might help - have you sat down and written down the code of conduct your paladin follows? It doesn't have to be a formal code or anything (more that one paladin I've seen has a personal code they follow moreso than an organization's code), but it should be something that your PC would write if someone asked him to explain his own beliefs and code. If you can actually write it all down, it might help you to put yourself more in your PC's shoes. It looks like your paladin is just not sure what to do next - have you tried asking questions from the appropriate persons? From what Leopold said, there's another paladin in the group, right? What does he think? Has your paladin ever considered the phrase "the greater good," and exactly what that means? Is he a character that believes the ends justify the means (and if so, is he really LN instead oif LG in general behavior?)? Has he tried using detect evil on the "friend" to see if he actually is tainted? If not, why not? If so, what were the results. From what Leo said, they should be fairly cut and dried... By the way - thanks for starting a good discussion. [/QUOTE]
