[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3327736, member: 9037"] We had a dilemma like this in our game we found some baby kobolds now they were not evil but neutrul. The townsfolk wanted the kobold babies to kill them most of the rest of the party where for it my chaotic elf sorcerer stood up to the party and took the kobold babies and raised them. If these troll young registered as neutrul it would be wrong to kill them as a paladin because their nature is undecided. With the proper upbringing they could be nutured towards good. But in this case they registered as evil. Which means it would take a lot to turn them away from that. I would not penalize a paladin for trying that route. But I would say that a paladin is justified in killing these creatures not only is he justified he has duty to all good creatures to destroy them. So many people think that because a paladin is supposed to be honorable that he cannot kill an evil creature who can't fight back. Sorry that is just crazy by not killing these creatures or finding away to stop their threat a paladin in my game would have the blood of the innocents on his hands that these trolls killed. Unlike the real world a paladin has a god given ability to detect evil if he feels that is not enough to help him make a decision on the fate of these baby evil monsters then he should cast commune.
