How long before the Paladin would have to recognize, if not that this "teammate" is, in fact, evil, that he is willing to commit acts of evil in the interests of expediency.  How would that be acceptable to the Paladin anyway?How crucial is it to the vision of the thief character that he be evil, rather than neutral (ie selfish)?  What aspects of his personality make him evil?  Assuming this is crucial, then how long can he expect to go unnoticed, even in the complete absence of anyone's ability to detect that he is evil through supernatural means?</blockquote>
