[QUOTE="billd91, post: 6335584, member: 3400"] 1) Why would you assume Kay and Bedivere were paladins at all much less ones that were in good standing? 2) Which Arthurian legends are you using as your source of truth? Because they differ. A lot. 3) Are you assuming that doing something in ignorance, like having sex with a half-sister you didn't know was your half-sister, is the same as doing it intentionally? I doubt either Arthur or Morgause would have jumped in the sack with each other had they known. And, Halivar's right. There [b]is[/b] nothing stopping a paladin from raping and murdering... except for the fact that it would be out of the PC's crafted character. If it were in his character, I doubt a player would make him a LG paladin, unless he [b]wants[/b] his inevitable fall to be part of the story they play out in the campaign. But ultimately, that's true of all RPG characters. There are very few games with hard rules preventing PCs from committing murder or all sorts of other nefarious crimes - but a lot of characters don't do those things because it's not way the players wants them to be. It's not in their character. [/QUOTE]
