Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aeric" data-source="post: 3327193" data-attributes="member: 17012">We see a lot of paladin threads here on EN World, and a lot of them have to do with specific situations.  In every thread asking "what should I do in this situation?" the best advice given is "ask your DM what is appropriate behavior."  Even better advice is to ask these questions before the character joins the game (or before you make him, that way you don't get stuck playing something you hate).However, coming up with a complete list of moral grey areas to define before gameplay starts can be as tedious and challenging as wording a 2nd-edition Wish.  So I thought it would be helpful if we could put our heads together and come up with a list of moral quandries that a potential paladin player (say that five times fast!) could present to his DM to prevent sticky situations in play.Remember, we're not looking for answers here--that's the DM's job.  Just questions.I'll start with some of the obvious ones:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What is the appropriate response to someone/something who detects as evil in a non-combat situation (be it troll babies or a smarmy innkeeper)? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Is it okay to break the law if that law is an unjust one? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are good and evil subjective in your world (societal values, i.e. one man's evil is another man's good), or absolute (troll babies radiate evil because it is in their nature to be evil, kill it before it eats my face!)?</li> </ul></blockquote>
