Smite when it is important, or when a drubbing can turn someone away from a darker path. (My favorite line from a 13 year old paladin player - 'sometimes you need to smite evil, and sometimes you just need to punch it in the face'.)Someoe has raised a bunch of zombies that have attacked the town? Detect away. Someone stole Major Karon's wallet? If the paladin was right there at the time, maybe.Now if he catches you in the act.... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" /> *Thumpita, thumpita, thumpita!* And let's be honest, you'll deserve it, you Chaotic Evil bugger, you.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
