In our game it was kobold babies and half the party wanted to kill them and half didn't.  Though a DM acting like that is being a jerk. A paladin does not fall over something like that. He is turning them over to a higher authority the church that in no ways violates his alignment. Though I would say it depends on how ORCs are played in the campaign world. Are they always evil and they don't have any choice and no matter how kind you are to them they will turn and act evil when older then yeah I can see to a point the DM questioning why the paladin would allow them to live regardless of how helpless they are as babies. Now if they are usually evil that is not the same and I could see a paladin choosing to give them a chance depending on the paladin. In either case I would as DM have no problem with the paladin choosing to kill the babies or not if they were usually evil.</blockquote>
