[QUOTE="Fedifensor, post: 985735, member: 7289"] Actually, fornication isn't against the code. Paladins are lawful good, but unless your game is set in an alternate history of the real world, they're not Catholic. You could lump it into the "act with honor" clause, but it depends on the definitions honor has in your game world. If we want to get technical, willing association with an evil character isn't against the code as listed...and I can see some situation where it would be an interesting roleplay hook. If the paladin was trying to convert the evil person to the side of good, for example. Or if the evil person was a part of the land's legitimate government, and the paladin was required to associate with him as part of her duties. It's definately something her deity would disapprove of, though - especially in the situation described in the original post. It's enough of a problem that I'd start restricting spell access. The lying IS against the code, but my personal opinion is that the GM should be a bit lenient (for the reasons in my previous post). However, since her lying is protecting the fact that she's willingly associated with an evil person, it's definately not a good thing. [/QUOTE]
