[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 2379145, member: 24357"] Giving our enemy mercy is what makes us better then them. To make myself clear here and not want to get political- my personal feelings do not reflect what I say here. If you kill murders, rapests, and the like it would greatly reduce the criminal element and allow us to hire more teachers, and people that could alter the criminal element before they become criminals. I won't go further, other then to say that I don't think the death penalty is used enough. Paladins are a breed above anyone I know or can comprehend, they stand where others haven't the courage. I agree. A CE priestess can not be trusted, but I think that a Paladin would be more interested in what she says and means at that moment, and to have the wisdom to be aware of the fact that- "hay I am dealing with an untrustable, women here." Any Paladin that has a Wisdom above 12 should be thinking about the possiblity that- hay, this woman is gonna have to be watched 24/7, she gets even a micro second of a chance and its over. Oh, she isn't. THe Paladin is just showing her that he is a better, more honorable person then she is, though I believe she would see him as stupid and naive (like all goodie two shoe types, doncha know :D ) Personally I like the RPing experience the Player has set up. He showed the bad guys that 1st he's a better, kinder person then they are (or perhaps the Player is playing him as naive?), and 2nd that it gives the Priestess a chance to see what good is and that she has the chance to change her ways, which gives so much towards a great game. As a GM I think I would be very happy with the Player for giving me this chance to either slit his characters throat in his sleep or to help to change some one of great evil to good. As far as the church is concerned the RP there is great :) I mean the church is gonna say "what the hell are you doing?" and he has to explain- "I wanted to give this evil woman the chance she may never have had." "Hello, she's evil!" Great RPing- love this kinda stuff. [/QUOTE]
