I think many people overlook this aspect of D&D, some intentionally, some quite knowingly. But core D&D is a setting with a cosmology that is structured around planes and beings that are absolute exemplars and personifications of various, defined moralities. Thus, there are beings that are GOOD, and beings that are EVIL. No ifs, ands, or buts. That said, I disagree with your Law 2. In their aspect as a holy warrior, I view paladins more as destroyers than redeemers. When confronted with a clear "evil-doer," I believe a (Lawful Good) paladin is mandated to kill/destroy, not redeem. I'm not saying there's never any gray area in these situations, but there is certainly a lot less in the campaigns I run than (apparently) those of many other people on these boards. p.s. And one note on topic, I don't agree that there should be special restrictions on paladins' sexual activities. Cheers,-War Golem</blockquote>
