I would probably go so far as to say he should have refused to adventure with people insisting he should...let alone using a magical sword that [apparently?] he/they know were created by evil beings and wanted for future evil purposes.The slaying of the captive was wrong. She should have been slain on their first meeting. And the deal never struck.He should have already begun losing his powers from the moment the party walked away with that sword and ANY "deal" with evil beings in place.But, as with all things paladinic, and as I stated above, it's up to the table and that's how things would go in my game. Not willing to play/adhere to the strict ethical/moral code? That's fine. Don't play a paladin...and don't expect to keep your paladinic goodies if you do and ignore your moral and ethical obligations and duties. Being a paladin is not up for negotiation. This guy broke the proverbial "rules" (in at least one way, if not 3). You understand/are conscious of that and atone for it or you become a fighter. Period.</blockquote>
