[QUOTE="atomn, post: 3363512, member: 40154"] How about going with the religious zealots accusing the almost paladin of heresy idea. The bishop can send him on a quest for a long, lost magic item, citing that if he recovers his holy relic it will show his devotion to the Good gods and the angry religious people will see he's not evil. But the bishop is just using the party once again and instead of recovering a long, lost holy relic, it's an evil magic item that he wants for his own ends. I'd let the adventure go long enough for them to level up after returning the item to the bishop so the fighter gets a level of paladin. Then I'd set up a situation where the new paladin would use his Detect Evil and discover that the Bishop was Evil. Now it depends a ton on your campaign but if you have the world set up correctly, the party will know he's Evil but due to his place in society they won't be able to slay him and claim he's Evil. From there I'd let the party loose to figure out how to gain evidence that he's Evil and bring him to justice (with some added encounters where they see one of his plots unveiling itself to help them out if they need a lead).
