LN's have no problem with killing.  They tend to believe that most things deserve killing - harsh, swift, fair, justice with none of this 'namby' 'pampy' mercy nonsense coloring it and letting law breakers make a mockery of the law.  They just insist that the killing be done according to the rules that govern killing - whatever they may be within the ethical system that the character has.  Presumably, as a Cleric of Heironious he has some inherent magisterial authority.  He not only has a right to kill, but a duty to seek out lawbreakers and do so.  He wasn't trained to wear all that metal for nothing.I'm not surprised.  It sounds like you have a group of players with a natural chaotic bent, either in reality or at least in thier fantasy life as an escape mechanism, and the player in question doesn't.  You are going to want very different things from a game session.The natural disposition of the player combined with a lack of experience.</blockquote>
