Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire James" data-source="post: 3791954" data-attributes="member: 548">I guess it all comes down to how you define "associate".  In D&D terms, it basically boils down to "thou shalt not allow an Evil Person to join your party".  In my opinion, even paladins have a bit of "wiggle room" when it comes to directing one Evil force to combat an Eviler force (though obviously this is a matter of some debate).Note:  "spoiler text" pertaining to Savage Tide adventure text below...[spoiler]For instance, the "no wiggle room" model interacts badly with the endgame of the Savage Tide adventure path (a weakness of that endgame, in my opinion).  I will not go into detail, but the "no directing Evil vs. Evil" model of paladin behavior will result in either the paladin leaving the party for the last 2-3 adventures, or the total failure of the mission (so, does YOUR level 20 party want to fight a CR 31-33 BBEG?).[/spoiler]</blockquote>
