[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3681064, member: 16285"] Yes that is what I meant (for a standard PHB paladin) - the things listed in the PHB must be [I]part[/I] of his Code of Conduct. But, unlike some who have posted with a differing opinion, I don't believe that it is a [I]required[/I] part of the standard PHB CoC to kill all evil creatures (just because they can Smite Evil doesn't mean they have to). The only thing it says on this regard is that they must "punish those who harm and threaten innocents" and they also cannot "knowingly associate with evil characters nor those who consistently offend her morale code." This is following immediately under the description of "alignment" so I do not believe this is automatic for creatures with the "evil" subtype. Can a child of a fiend be innocent? How about child age goblins? [/QUOTE]
