[QUOTE="DarkMaster, post: 1566122, member: 16362"] The base of a lawful society is organisation, no single being should be allowed to decide what is good or bad for the society in question. The paladin in this case acted as a CG. He knew that it was wrong and did what he taugh was the right thing to do, even if society do not agree with this type of justice. Clearly from the DM advice this was not socially accepted, the paladin being part of this society should have conform to it. as for your example in this case it is completly irrelevant the man was neither a nobles or known. The end result would probably have been the same. The man would be dead but the decision would come from the society and not from a single individual. And if the man would have been found not guilty, the paladin misinterpreted the situation, would it still be ok to kill him? If you want to play such a knight I strongly recommand the Paladin of Freedom in UA. No, why is the Paladin a better judge than a counsil of seven man(for example) expert with matters of law? And what is desirable for the paladin, he is good but he is also lawful and preaching by example. If he give himself a license than everybody can do it too and quickly it becomes anarchy and that is not desirable for the paladin. Paladin are not Good at all cost like CG characters are. [/QUOTE]
