[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 5865800, member: 3424"] That's an interesting perspective. I've always preferred to play paladins as more Good than Lawful, but more Lawful than Good paladins certainly do exist (Miko Miyazaki of the Order of the Stick being perhaps the best-known example). It may seem to be a tautology, but I think that a Lawful Good paladin should only be required to uphold Good laws. Neutral laws may get a pass, but Evil laws would certainly not be considered laws by a Lawful Good paladin, and he would not hesitate to disobey them, even if it gets him thrown into a fiery furnace or a den of lions (we assume that his deity, who is presumably Lawful Good, would make the necessary arrangements to ensure that he survives). In fact, paladins probably have a handbook with useful sections like, "How to Lobby for the Repeal of an Unjust Law", and "Overthrowing Tyrants in an Orderly Manner: a Step by Step Approach".
