[QUOTE="e3_Jeb, post: 1146778, member: 10974"] [b]Just a side note...[/b] Just as a side note. I was reading a fantastic story hour (Doc Midnight's Knights of the Silver Quill and Knights of the Spell Forge Keep) in which I felt the whole "detect evil kill on sight" thing was handled very well. Basically Paladin & Co. enter town in search of ties to an evil cult (RttToEE), they start making connections and finding clues and the Paladin decides to 'Detect Evil.' BAM! The town baker's glowing red like Darth Vader's light saber. So the group formulates the plan to circle the building just incase (s)he decides to split. So they go in, negotiations break down, (s)he tries to make a run for it out the back but, uh-oh; there's a problem, for her(him) at least. There's a 6ft some odd Beacon of Pissed off Righteous Might sittin' outside with a sword that's just been itchin' to lay down some of the lord's special brand of redemption. (S)He's movin' and groovin' and doesn't even see the serious case of holy smack down she has penciled in... One AoO later we've got one headless evil baker and one embodiment of all that is good in the world wiping some rather innocent lookin' blood off of his sword all while surrounded by one angry won't-be-eatin-a-whole-helluva-lotta-bread mob. We jump forward a whole 10 minutes and we've got the Man Upstair's right hand standin' trial for killin' everybody’s favorite baker. "Your honor... I am officially 'one mean M Fin' servant of god'*... I've got my Pally Pass with my picture on it and I'm even wearing the standard fullpl-" "Shut up... Guilty... Next!" So I changed the writing and dialog a bit... So I couldn't really remember the characters names... In the end the Baker was a part of the cult... So I guess this story works for both sides of the argument... But my point is this, even if you are instructed by your god to kill evil things at all cost, it shouldn't be accepted and taken lightly in a campaign, because who's gonna believe you? But this is all just my opinion. *Taken from a pretty bad movie... Bonus points to you if you know it... [/QUOTE]
