[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1174098, member: 9037"] Whenever this kind of thing comes up the thread seems to split itself along the lines of paladins=smite or paladins=redemption. I think some of this depends on the player's concept of his paladin. If he sees himself as a destroyer of evil then it makes sense that he would not just let this evil loose on the world. In this case I think he would detect evil on her question her and if she is evil then I think he would kill her as cleanly as possiable. If he plays the paladin as being more benlovent then I can see him healing her putting a mark of justice or geas on her and taking her and turning her over to the authorities. But not the evil archmage come on even making alliance with this evil mage is bending the rules of working with known evil. Now I think just killing helpless prisoners without doing the above and really confirming that they are evil and have done evil and don't want to be redeemed is asking for having to attone. As for the duel give me a break if she has to fight for her life and will die if she loses then it is unfair to tie her hands and say she has to use non lethal force. I think a duel could be a cool thing to do and something I see a paladin or cleric doing after all they should have the faith in thie diety to win over evil. Talking about wasting resources is more metagaming thinking than role playing. [/QUOTE]
