[QUOTE="Kem, post: 1564784, member: 18158"] Since the Paladin did not "sneak up" on the criminal, it was not dishonorable. He was in the doorway, and was unnoticed. He never said he was sneaking up, only that he was in the door way, and was able to draw his sword and attack wasn't noticed. Otherwise you are giving free range on even dragons to just have them turn their backs on you in order to strip your of paladinhood if you even just attack them. "No sorry can't attack that dragon, he's attacking you but he's unaware of me so I have to wait". To Bad the Dragon is Deaf and is cursed to not be able to see paladins. By the way, the reason for the situations I outlined in a cave, or if the criminal was an orc. If in either case, you find it to be ok for the Paladin to kill the orc, then in the case with the non-human, the Paladin Stays a paladin. A Paladin does not go by the local legitamate authority, he respects them, but he goes by his code of conduct. Period. The slavery example earlier shows this. Slavery can be accepted in all the land, but that doesn't NOT mean that the paladin has a slave or will not fight to have slavery removed. Even if the slaves are evil goblins and kobolds. The Paladin cannot treat Orcs differently from Humans. Both can be redeemed, both are capable of the same thing. Reason Being: If that criminal was in a dungeon off somewhere, and this was the only evil act that the paladin knows of about this character when he comes across the scene, an Orc is killable while a Human is not?
