[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 66456, member: 525"] Well if we go by the bare bones of the PHB then the Paladin has violated his code several times. 1. We encountered two ettins with an ogre audience who were engaging in a Kobold and Gnome tossing contest. Obviously the gnome or kobold died upon impact. The LG dwarf and LG Paladin both wanted to turn and run since they were 4th level and felt they had no chance to win. My Neutral mage burned some scrolls in a very imaginative manner and all of the gnomes and kobolds (evil though innocent victims here) were saved. 2. We were in a fight with a small green dragon. After killing it we were about to be attacked by its sibling while we were trapped and could not escape. The Paladin decided he was too weak to fight and without askign the cleric is he could be healed he used his ioun stone (keeps him from having to breath) to allow him to swim through some freezing water and mud for over 10 minutes to try and find us an escape route. A route of course that only he could take. While he was gone we fought and killed the baby dragon though just barely. So he has run from saving innocents and abandoned his fellow party members so far. Both I think would be crisises with his code yet our DM hasnt done squat since the Paladin has no code at all.
