[QUOTE="Maestrino, post: 7814039, member: 7015644"] ... for 5e I don't even write an alignment on my character sheet. Because in 5e "alignment" is only a broad reminder for the player as to how they designed their character's personality. It has no in-game effects (aside from "detect good/evil"). So, about the paladin in this case, look at it by Oath. Oath of Conquest: "Strength Above All. You shall rule until a stronger one arises." Dragon is pretty beefy. Conquest pally is OK letting the dragon be the alpha. Oath of Devotion: "Protect the weak. Protect those entrusted to your care." The Devotion paladin done f***ed up. They need some major atonement. Oath of Redemption: "Violence is a weapon of last resort." This paladin is now on a quest to redeem the soul of the dragon, and will only kill it if it proves irredeemable. Oath of the Ancients: "Stand against the wickedness that would swallow [the light in the world]." Not great here, but if the paladin is legit on a mission to save the entire freakin' world, he may have bigger fish to fry than this dragon. Oath of the Crown: "Courage in the face of overwhelming odds." This paladin also done f***ed up. Oath of Vengeance: "By Any Means Necessary." This paladin doesn't even have a twinge of guilt. So, out of six possible oaths, two have serious problems with the actions taken. One is borderline. The other three are no problem. [/QUOTE]
