[QUOTE="Tiew, post: 2086115, member: 12604"] You raise a good point Gez. In my game however the PCs are exploring a land that was invaded by a crusading army 10 years before. The empire defeated the army but many of the crusaders have fled and hid throughout the countryside. The paladin (or ex-paladin if you prefer) was one of the crusaders and how he's constantly on the run and in hiding. Having had his reason slightly befuddled by the shock of the defeat and his new lifestyle he is just basically a bandit who comes out and kills the occasional random person on the road that he detects as being evil. He does this because his identity is wrapped up in being a warrior against evil and he won't stop even when it would make a lot more sense. I thought he might make an interesting travel encounter... We'll see if I use him though. Thanks for the advice everybody. Glad to see I'm not the only one who messes with the rules sometimes. I'll try to be fair and consistent about it though like you have said. [/QUOTE]
