[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7814583, member: 22779"] So, basically, all paladins MUST be suicidal. They can never, ever surrender, nor can they retreat. Ever. Because to do so would be to violate how you interpret this oath. Yeah, as I said before, a bit too lawful stupid for me. This is not an evil act. It is arguably a cowardly one, but, this isn't a chivalric knight. Honor is not that important here. Doing the most good is the important thing here and needlessly commiting suicide by dragon in such a way that will not save this man is not only blindingly stupid, but, also, abandoning all hope. After all, the paladin is alive. He could potentially save the man. The man might escape. Any number of things could happen. Where there is life, there is hope. But, rolling over and dying? Yeah, that's the true coward's way out. [/QUOTE]
