[QUOTE="AugurSSj, post: 1569277, member: 19760"] I haven't had a chance to read all 25 pages of post yet but i want to bring up a point that i haven't seen so far. There was a possible senario had the paladin followed forthe Paladin gives the guy a warning A) He is taken a back and cowers away B) He jumps at the child uses her as a shield C) Gets a weapon near by and kills the child D) Uses the child as a distraction (throwing her on the ground), possibly injuring her gravely and running away. E) Possibly kills the child out of spite(breaking her neck, knife through body) F) Stands ready with a weapon that could kill or poison the paladin rendering his saving ability useless. You really should not know whether he would go down in one hit, that's out of game knowledge and should not be taken into consideration. (However if you knew that subdual damage would have been better, however that could have missed due to the -4 so its tactically a worse choice) (Good is also a reletive term and DND attempts to make it black and white for simplicity sake) Lawful good The best possible good for the best possible out come. This good should be the most prejidice and should always find look for ways to to elliminate evil and injustice out right. Nautral good The best good all the the time even if the out come is bad. They have faith that good will prevail Chaotic good Understand that there are nessacary evils to get good results and doesn't rely on others perception of goods . Many of these scenario puts the child in harms way. Based on how i belive LG is defined, it was best to minimize the possible damage and protect the greatest amount of people. If the choice was between: *Pessant dies and girl lives - Likely outcome (Epecially if the paladin attacked first) *Pessant live and girl dies - Possible outcome *Pessant dies girl dies - Possible outcome *Pessant lives girl lives - Possbile outcome The paladin should have chosen the best and most likely out come explaing that there was little room for other outcomes or even think up a plan that could have protected the girl fully. To stand there and do nothing would have beencowardly and evil. This was a time for action and he gave the best possible mercy he could have at the time. However, the paladin should have talked to his clergy regarding the death, prayed over and tithe heavily for their digression. There was no moment of weakness, just a moment of justice at its cruelest. [/QUOTE]
