[QUOTE="kolvar, post: 1564463, member: 1423"] I think, there are three levels to it: 1st: In any case it is not honorable to attack from behind an unarmed man (+ without warning). If honor is important to the charakter, he got a problem. 2nd: no law allows for killing people just because they did something evil or are doing it, if it can be prevented (with the exception of the law-enforcement of the city and player characters are seldom part of that. Being a paladin does not automatically qualify a character to enforce the law in a city). A city lives by its laws. If people start doing their own law, the city will not survive. Therefore, the character should, at least be dragged before the court. what happens there is a matter of the local laws. 3rd: The paladin violated a law. Did he violate his law? if yes, he is in for atonement In the end, if the GM feels, that the character violated his code, it is the GMs right to strip the character of his powers. He is the law at the table. [/QUOTE]
