[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 3304909, member: 607"] She's so ex-paladin I think her monk levels are ex-paladin too! Let's see... 1. A paladin must be of lawful good alignment. Boy, did she go Chaotic here! Lawful would be to summon the magistrates (as Hinjo suggested) and place Shojo under arrest (as Hinjo suggested). Good would be to prepare for the coming evil horde (as Hinjo suggested) and then take care of this matter (as Hinjo suggested). Plus "the laws have no meaning" to her anymore. 2. ...and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits an evil act. Shojo was innocent of her accusations. He may not be Lawful, but he isn't Evil. 3. Additionally, a paladin’s code requires that she respect legitimate authority... Based on Hinjo's suggestions, the magistrates would be the legitimate authority. Miko just performed a coup-d'etat. Just because she's the highest ranking paladin doesn't make her the leader. That's a "might makes right" mentality. 4. ...act with honor (not lying, not cheating, not using poison, and so forth)... She attacked a helpless, unarmed venerable man. How's that "honor"? 5. ...help those in need (provided they do not use the help for evil or chaotic ends)... In this case, those in need are the people of Azure City. She should have followed Hinjo's plan of incarcerating Shojo and dealing with the more pressing matter of Xykon's horde. 6. ...and punish those who harm or threaten innocents. Clearly, in this case Xykon is more fitting than Shojo. 7. ...a paladin will never knowingly associate with evil characters... She doesn't even know Belkar is Evil, she never managed to detect him. 8. ...nor will she continue an association with someone who consistently offends her moral code. If she thinks Shojo has consitently offended her moral code, she should quit the order and become a wandering paladin. But she's acting on Shojo's words and equating Chaos with Evil. [/QUOTE]
