[QUOTE="CalrinAlshaw, post: 1555874, member: 14282"] The only people who say a Paladin doesn't have any chain of command or those people who treat the Core Books like a bible and refuse to accept any ideas accept their own interpretation of the LETTER of what is written. It is generally accepted that a paladin has to follow a deity of somesort. (Divine abilities, you know, from divine beings, paladins are not level 1 gods) Most deities have some sort of church. Most churches have some sort of church hierarchy. Generally the lower in the hierarchy you are, the more people who can command you around. Most churches are ALSO attached to some state/nation where they (help?) set laws. (Church hierarchy stuff again) First and foremost, a paladin being a holy warrior is going to follow his orders and deities beliefs, codes, and sometimes laws. Not only all of this, any decent church that trains paladins would teach them that although Detect Evil is a general indicator, it can be fooled by magical items and some spells, which SHOULD give most paladins the clue that they better freakin think before they act.
