Act of evil? Or just taking out the trash?

[QUOTE="ppaladin123, post: 4457114, member: 60923"] From the PHB: "A character who aspires to good might have a cruel streak, but if that streak manifests too frequently or in extreme ways, it’s hard to say he’s really upholding his moral ideals." Even if you don't think it was an evil act, I'd have the church reprimand him, maybe have rumor of this act spread through the country as well. Clearly he disobeyed a direct order from his superirors...that is not particularly lawful. He might meet other paladins of Bahamut who disagree with his methods and refuse to work with him. He might meet members of a hardline sect within the church who want him to join them. His actions may have also caught the attention of followers of Tiamat. Maybe they can seek him out....tempt him to join them, try to corrupt him with one of those, "we are not so different, you and I," speeches. Also, if I were a good-aligned character campaigning with this guy, I might think twice about continuing to travel with him. The other characters may choose to confront him about this. Maybe you can have NPCs instigate that confrontation: "How can you call yourself good, and willingly associate with someone like that?" (Maybe they have a good answer to that question though.)
