I guess we all are in need of some clarification in the next rules revision.Furthermore the paladins that most of the evil = EVIL people are describing sound much more like Chaotic Good characters than Lawful Good ones (I'll do what ever I can get away with to further good?). A lawful character would live by the law whether he was in the city or in the wilderness. Those laws are established boundaries that he has grown to respect and hold dear. He would not throw them out at the first chance to bash a head in. If the law states he can kill anything that pings as evil, then have at it. But if the law requires proof, then the paladin will also require proof. Law doesn't get much simpler than that guys. Just establish what the law is and let that guide the decisions of your paladins.The other thing to keep in mind here is that you should define what evil is in your world. That isn't altogether easy as evil is a human construct used to define things that a culture finds morally wrong or inhumane. Most of you seem to adhere to a very modern moral code in your fantasy games... That's fine, but make sure your players know it.</blockquote>
