Message: <blockquote data-quote="Campbell" data-source="post: 7819392" data-attributes="member: 16586">I do not like using the violate when it comes to a paladin failing to live up to his code. For me the cornerstone of any paladin should be unwavering faith in their deity a commitment to try to live up to their code. The way the codes are written no one could meaningfully live up to that standard all the time. What's important to me is that they genuinely try and when they fall short seek penance.No deity, especially not one who would raise up a paladin dedicated to the tenants of good, is going to throw away one of their favored who is genuinely dedicated to them. They might demand penance for failing short. They might require atonement in rare cases where they doubt the paladin's commitment and faith. This will be rare. More likely they might seek redress by requiring something of that paladin. It might be as simple as delivering news of the NPC's death to next of kin.</blockquote>
