Message: <blockquote data-quote="Warbringer" data-source="post: 3197846" data-attributes="member: 14391">"A paladin must be of lawful good alignment and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits an evil act. Additionally, a paladin's code requires that she respect legitimate authority, act with honor (not lying, not cheating, not using poison, and so forth), help those in need (provided they do not use the help for evil or chaotic ends), and punish those who threaten innocents."To be honest, I really fail to see any dilemma, but damn good topic.A paladin will in not participate in assassins, sacking a city, raping, pillaging or other ‘chaotic acts of war”. She will however participate in using tactical advantage as surely as she will use a sword against a rogue with a dagger. Superior tactical advantage is not dishonorable, but rather, allows her to bring a conflict to resolution with the highest chance of least possible harm. After all, she is still primarily a warrior.That premise accepted, the use of deceit, faints, disguised flanking, ambushing, use of spies (non assassins) are engaged in the intent of making the engagement as short as possible with the least loss of life, and minimal harm.</blockquote>
