Paladins are normally considered to fight honorable, but also to defend the helpless, innocent...It is not honorable to attack somebody from behind.But what should a pally do if an killer tries to mureder someone, and his only realistic chance ist to strike him down from behind.Or the good old it is unlawful to break in anothers house.Did this forbid the pally to enter without allowance fom an rightful authority if there in is someone sacrificed to daemons or gods of darkness? To the point it is not good to insult somebody who had did his best, and it is not honorable also.A part of being good is to be polite, not unnes´cessary insulting or such..We could spin this further, in regard of the queen the pally could force the king to declare a war to defend his honor.How good would it be to let other people die for an insult, where the last bit of courtesy had been avoiding this?</blockquote>
