[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3668644, member: 13966"] I direct you to this section of the OP's description, emphasis mine: It seems to me that the imp became visible when he helped out in the battle, since attacking someone while you're invisible ends the invisibility. Being tactically wise enough, the paladin did not attack the imp in the midst of battle with other foes, since the imp was apparently not attacking him or his comrades yet. Instead he attacked it after the battle. This is fine and in accordance with Heironeous' dogma, at least. It does seem that he waited briefly after the fight, probably considering whether or not it would be dishonorable to slay the fiend then and there after having been at least somewhat involved in the agreement to work with it (while it was still invisible). He did attack it before it could leave with the item it had come for, so no evil was done by his mistake in working together with the formerly-invisible creature. Now it does seem that he made some poor decisions and was teetering on the [I]brink[/I] of being either neglectful of some duties or dishonorable in some actions, but not definitely so, and thus should not be punished with anything more than a warning. A one-day loss of his powers would certainly give such a warning. I don't know if the paladin actually follows a deity or not though, so I'm not sure if he should be receiving a dream or something instead. [/QUOTE]
