[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3547089, member: 22424"] It can't happen. Subdual damage never results in death. If, however, we use a 'real-world' model, where such a thing actually can happen, then the Paladin had no business knocking out the innocent to prevent them from going into danger. There are ways to achieve that goal without the risk of death. Grappling and then restraining the innocent springs to mind as the obvious choice. Furthermore, there is a huge question over whether the Paladin actually has the right to deny the innocent the option of choosing the danger. Strikes me that the Paladin does not have that right, unless the Paladin knows that the danger is overwhelming and the innocent is not acting rationally. And yet, despite this, I'm going to say the Paladin remains in good standing. If I believed in giving 'warnings' to Paladins on the edge, then this would call for that... but since I do not, and since this is not sufficient cause for an actual loss of status, no sanction is appropriate.
