While he had both "Good" and Lawful reasons to have executed her, they were not the primary motivation. He did no wrong in executing her, from everything I gather about the campaign and setting she should have been and would have been executed eventually. However, he did it not out of a lawful reason or a capital G "Good" reason, but out of personal anger and sorrow.So I would require the Paladin to atone, no penalties for now, but when he gets back to a higher authority to report, they would chastise him over his reasons for acting. Then they would assign him a fairly light and easy atonement designed to reenforce the idea that why one acts is important too. To paraphrase Star Wars "Emotion, strong emotion. Leads to the darkside it does." A Paladin needs to have "better" reasons for executing someone like that.</blockquote>
