[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 571246, member: 2804"] This, believe it or not, I disagree with. Evil can do good and still be evil. But Good can never do evil and still be good. The good path is the narrow path. Where the argument lies is what acts we consider good and what we consider evil. Acts I consider good, some of you consider evil and vice versa. Quite right! Although... As long as the paladin is a true hero than his paladinhood can never be sacrificed. I don't believe in the "paladin's dilemma" where a paladin gets put in a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation. Thats simply poor DMing. The paladin's code is designed to encourage the fight against evil and to uphold morality and defend the right. It is not a straitjacket a paladin follows to the exclusion of everything, even common sense. The code is a framework, a moral foundation upon which the paladin bases his actions. But ultimately the paladin is a hero and as long as he tries to do the right thing in a tough situation then his paladinhood will never be in question. [/QUOTE]
