Make him realize that he's following a quest that is creating at least as much discomfort as he's preventing.- if he tries to go the legal way and changing the nation's laws, have the ruler be horrified at him torturing people for alchool, as he believes that drinking, even if a crime, does not merit this kind of judgement.- have his powers falter from time to time. "You want to smite that demon, but all you can think of right now is that guy that was beating his wife because he drank too much. You smite the demon, but purple/black energy comes from your blade, and not a glowing light. You feel the darker energies through you, feeding upon your hate. The demon sees you struggling, and whispers "good... you are becoming like me...""- draw inspiration from Anakin from Star Wars. He's a good jedi, right? But he's going down a dark path. Striking innocent people, losing his friends, then attacking his master. Maybe have a former master find him torturing people and go all "this isn't what i thought you" and attack him. Maybe have something else happen while the confrontation is ongoing, and the master dies because of something the paladin does.</blockquote>
