I see differing opinions on how the paladin should or may act depending on situation(s) and what the various DM's, rulebooks, editions, and settings say concerning the way a paladin should act. I find it an interesting thread and am actually learning a lot more about the paladin class and how people think they should best be played.Anyhow, to the question at hand. To me a paladin would not walk around assassinating enemies unless it was a last desperate resort. He'd grab what he could (especially his own gear such as a holy avenger, plate mail, etc) and book it out of there to come back another time and deal with the threat when he is tactically ready to do so. Again, echoing my own thoughts at first and that of the others, he'll be a tactician and not stupid about things when it comes to battle. If I was playing the paladin and had to get out of the camp, but only had the option of killing something to do it, I'd probably try to knock it out instead of killing it because my code of honor wouldn't allow me to kill it outright in that manner, that's left up to assassins and thieves to do. This is just how "I" would do it if I was role playing the paladin. Others might try to distract the single guard, challenge it to single combat, reason with it via diplomacy, or any number of other ways of resolving the situation, that is up to that person playing the paladin and what the DM says in their game that they can do w/o hurting their standing as a paladin.I think that the OP really just needs to talk to his DM and talk about the options and what he or she expects from paladins in their campaigns. Pretty simple if you do it that way instead of trying to get 100 opinions from 100 other people on the forums. If done this way, you know for sure what your limitations are and you'll be able to immerse yourself into your character more and have more fun at YOUR table.</blockquote>
