I would also reward a paladin who answered "yes", rather than punish them with death. Read the Deed of Paksenarrion for an example of a paladin who chose to follow her deity's example instead of doing what would be humanly logical - and thereby allowing the deity to act against evil directly. A paladin should not be denying their deity. (but I agree that asking questions about 'class' rather than 'profession', 'vocation', or deity that they follow is not the way to go).My response would be "define what you mean by paladin?" If they asked what god I followed, as a paladin I would be honour-bound (to my deity) to answer (unless my deity encouraged subterfuge and deception). I have a paladin of Tyr. She would put her faith in her deity to win over injustice being performed by the evil overlord. She isn't stupid, but isn't unfaithful either, and as a DM I believe that it is important to reward clerics and paladins for showing themselves to be faithful servants of their deity and not deviating from their deity's philosophies just to avoid some pain.</blockquote>
