[QUOTE="mlund, post: 4456992, member: 50304"] Let's see now. We have a known criminal and heretic who took up arms against the rightful forces of justice. He was defeated by arms and his life spared. Then, in the charge of his captors who had shown him mercy this fool blasphemed against the deity who's servant had shown him mercy [B]and[/B] threatened further bodily harm to innocents? The Paladin should have cut the fool's head off and put it on a pike. You [B]do not[/B] threaten the innocent around a Paladin. You don't blaspheme against his deity after throwing yourself on said deity's mercy either. Such an act is a breach of hospitality. Paladins aren't stupid, and most times justice for a capital criminal is simply death at the hands of a righteous man rather than a mob. Severe crimes sometimes have severe punishments, including ugly deaths that set examples for other law-breakers. In most cases Lawful Good powers will be more inclined to enforcing these severe punishments because they understand the critical importance of deterrence to an ordered society and have a better handle on exactly how broad the scope of harm can be for crimes like Treason, Heresy, and Mutiny. - Marty Lund [/QUOTE]
