How often do your Paladins actually violate their Oaths?

[QUOTE="jasper, post: 7821602, member: 277"] Other. I going to skip over the high school years due most of us were pills. But those arguments make it clear DMs and players need to know what the oath(s) mean and a code of conduct maybe necessary. In other editions I allowed my paladins to party, wench, get drunk, and fart in the airlock. One paladin got mercenary with his own church as in not taking the his mission from Gawd without getting paid. I first fined him some paladin abilities. And when he and the other players objected just added extra damage to his pc. (Yes not nice) One paladin got mad he did not win the dice roll for a magic sword, stole the sword for the other party member and destroyed it. I ruled that was not happening and told the person he could not play paladins at my table. However two paladins went over and beyond the oath. One was my brother playing a cavalier paladin. Random encounter was rolled with his enemy household. He was outclassed like level 10 vs level 5. He charged away. I told he did not have too by he continued his charged and died. I offered a free raise but he turned it down. (Psst some times random encounters go sideways.) The second was a SCA buddy, Kept up his oath. Kept the group from being murder hobos most of the time. Turned in one party member to police and gave the reward to the church. I gave him a cut down holy avenger. I think it was a +2 and this was during 2E. [/QUOTE]
