Message: <blockquote data-quote="haakon1" data-source="post: 5690709" data-attributes="member: 25619">That's a great insight, and one that bears repeating.  I think a lot of the "what's a paladin to do threads" fall in this category, which leaves most people saying "of course he can do whatever" and other people agonizing over it.It's almost never necessary to lie outright, when bending the truth is close enough.  For example, the party I'm running in email (no paladin in this one) came to a walled town and was asked their business for entering.  They said they were tracking werewolves that they thought were in the region, and wants to rest for a few nights.  That's the partial truth -- they originally headed that way tracking a werewolf.  But they left out the part about how they met with the military in the next city back and were given the mission of spying on the walled town's ruler, and if the rumors were true that he plans to seceed from the country, were ordered to prevent him from doing so by any means necessary.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  A paladin being along for the ride wouldn't have changed the party's approach, I think.Do you think a paladin is a masculine role?  I'd say it is about 90% of the time, but given percentage of male characters I've seen (~75%), it's not a huge difference.  Still magic users, thieves, and druids seem to be female more often.</blockquote>
