Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 3314813" data-attributes="member: 3929">Who, by name, disagrees with this? Anyone?Agreed. But Good intentions will not make an Evil act not Evil. It may make it understandable and forgivable, but that is something else altogether.Miko has (at least) two intents in attacking Shojo. Killing him, and delivering justice.She intends to kill him, for all the wrong reasons. Evil intent. She wishes to deliver Justice by way of executing a traitor. Lawful intent.(We don't know if she had it within her powers to assume judge/jury/executioner status because that would require knowledge of the laws of Azure city. Anyone have a copy of their laws? No? Thought not. ) What she did is not necessarily Chaotic. Nor is it necessarily Lawful, but it's just as valid a proposal for what we know.So you may try to worm Good intent out of her motives for killing Shojo, but the Evil and Lawful intent is fairly well demonstrable. Couple that with Evil action, and you've got a fallen paladin.Worshipping an Evil god is an Evil act.It may not make the character's alignment Evil, because after all, you can have clerics of Evil deities that are Neutral. But that does not mean that worshipping an Evil god isn't Evil.Seperate "Evil acts" from "Evil alignment"; many places in this thread they have become confused, as in this quotation.It's dangerous to accuse folks of things when you can't support it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Besides, what Belkar does now is wholly seperate from Miko's paladin status. Frankly, I think he's gotten such jollies seeing Miko fall and Shojo die that he should be sated as far as schadenfreude goes.</blockquote>
