[QUOTE="Zephyrus, post: 1999328, member: 8728"] Okay... here's a couple things to consider. Here are the RAW. Since your playing a Soulknife the paladin code may not nessisarly apply the same here but the only valid point being that you act with honor. but the definitions of Lawful and Good and of a Lawful Good combonation. Looting corpses in and of itself may or may not be offensive. Its a matter of respect and dignity. I would say under most circumstances that looting a corpse would not be offensive. It would however perhaps be bothersome if the fallen foe in question had been an honorable opponent or similar. Depending on the characters outlook on his foes would determine whether looting corpses is acceptable behavior. What would be good for you perhaps is to establish what criteria makes an foe honorable or deserving of dignified treatment post mortum. I would suggest that 'most opponents' unless they display qualties that incline the character to respect them are undeserving or deserving of only certain dignity. Include perhaps 'outs' for those gray area's or situations motivated by need such as 'if we give them a fueneral rite, its okay cause we are honoring them that way' or 'I honestly <and remember you dont lie> belive he would have wanted this <item of value or power> to based on to someone deserving.' or some similar deluded self serving for the greater good reason like that where a justification is needed in order to ease one's alignment, of course too much of this is likly to shift your alignment as self-intrest over takes tradition and selfless-ness.
