[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 8833371, member: 205"] In terms of classic old-school paladin conceptions, I generally find oath violations easy to adjudicate, as long as the paladin is built in the classic "LG holy knight" conception. Evil acts, anything where the paladin is putting their own well-being over the well-being of others, are relatively simply to recognize and penalize. Chaotic acts tend to trip people up. To my mind, a chaotic act is an action where the paladin is putting her own conscience above the dictates of God/her god, and is worried more about the results of her actions then following her code. A paladin is NOT a consequentialist. A paladin believes her god and her code to be correct in all things, and has faith that following that code will eventually lead to the best outcome. A paladin does NOT accept a lesser evil to foil the greater. That is the way of chaos, which is why a paladin who follows the dictates of her heart rather than her god must atone. [/QUOTE]
