[QUOTE="kengar, post: 88164, member: 3230"] How about some feedback on this one: I have a paladin character who fought his way free from a village under the control of a Necromancer. He and the rest of the party (a druid & a rogue) made it to relative safety in some tunnels beneath a nearby cemetery, but not before a zombie took the paladin down to negative HP. Our last Cure Lt. Wounds potion brought me from -6 to -1, still down but not dying. The experience from the encounter let him level up to 3rd so the DM ruled my new HP applied and now I'm awake. We are low on supplies (left in village), out of spells & healing, and hiding in a tunnel beneath the graveyard. Tense situation. Here's the alignment problem: As a now-3rd level paladin, I can turn undead. This could be very useful in our current situation. However, I don't have a Holy Symbol with me. :( We are in a graveyard, however, and there is almost certainly a holy symbol on -or in- one of the grave/tombs. We face an immediate threat from undead but would it be against my alignment to "borrow" a Holy Symbol from a tomb in order to fight evil? It's kind of like the "stealing a loaf of bread to feed a starving family" thing. Lawful Good action? Non-LG? Any opinions? [/QUOTE]
