[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 3683116, member: 4720"] I was enjoying my cookie, but Kamikaze Midget had to point out my lapses of clarity :o I was pretty careful about all this. He didn't associate with them right off the bat, he just didn't report them. (I probably could have been clearer on that segment) Once he saw the power inherent in association, he elected to associate. BUT... he attached rules vis a vis who would be allowed in the organization, and took steps (relatively subtle for a paladin, perhaps) to keep everyone's behavior in line. Luckily for him, I supplied him with a "Pragmatic Good" fellow to handle the messy details like potential stool pigeons, but by the RAW, I don't even need to do that. I could have him execute every evil person in the guild, by the RAW. But that doesn't square with MY interpretation of paladins, so I gave him some help. Sure, it's not perfect, but it doesn't require much fudging (if any) to fit the RAW. [/QUOTE]
