Just to sort of gather my thoughts on the matter for the future: Ultimately it comes down to three points. 1.) I disagree with it being uncharitable, though I understand your interpretation of the situation, 2.) Even if our perspectives aligned in such a way that we agreed it was uncharitable, there's no indication that your or my moral code = Tristan's or the Blessed Lady's, who to reiterate Tristan's backstory, has been sending him out to do all sorts of unwholesome things in her name, and 3.) Even setting aside all of that, paladins aren't held to any specific code of conduct and aren't even restricted to being Good. As a sort of sub-point to this I'll go into more detail regarding the argument I mentioned - the one of exceptions proving the rule: Some of the vows that paladins can take as part of quests restrict them from lying, using "cowardly" tricks, etc. This is an indication that if those vows are not present that a paladin is not necessarily prevented from doing those things. The fact that there isn't an explicit code of conduct like there was in pre-4th D&D is one of the things that pleased me about the class in this game and ultimately led to my choosing it (which shouldn't be taken as a statement of intent to get up to all sorts of mischief - I think how I've played him so far should be indication that that's not the case). But looking back at the rest of this post I see I've crossing into the territory of arguing a settled issue, so I'll just end things with another thanks for making the edit. I've been enjoying being a part of the game, this misunderstanding aside.</blockquote>
