[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2908845, member: 29014"] Hobgoblins are "Usually lawful evil". Did the Paladin know for sure that the hobgoblin he killed was even evil and not Lawful Neutral? Did he check with Detect Evil first? In a Living ENWorld PbP adventure, the PCs attacked a bunch of hobgoblin mercenaries (mainly LN) who were fighting a gray render before the hobgoblins even saw them. They killed several, and when the hobgoblins asked for recompense for their dead comrades, they refused, so the hobgoblins left (even though the PCs were wounded from the gray render, which turned on them, and the hobgoblins could have finished them off). Later, the PCs chased the hobgoblins down and slaughtered some of the guards from ambush before trying to Coup de Grace those that were still asleep. Is this appropriate due to the "hobgoblins are evil creatures" mentality offered in the first post by the PC. I would say that this is Evil behaviour on behalf of the party, but it seems like many of you would argue that it is not. [/QUOTE]
