Which, in turn, brings me back to my original question. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />As I mentioned in my comments to Nightfall before, it isn't a matter of ignoring one in favor of the other, so much as, all other things being as equal as possible, which one would a Paladin go after first? And is the answer to this question "hard-coded", so to speak, into the nature of being a Paladin, or is it more of an individual character-flavour sort of decision?I tend to think the latter, myself, but I wanted to hear from others.I agree, and it goes to the core of my initial question in some ways. Would a Paladin see eliminating a sporadic, rampant, Chaotic Evil, as more of a priority? Or would the more organized and focused Lawful Evil be the thing to nip in the bud as quickly as possible before it has as much time to work toward its goals? And, as I mentioned above, is this answer "Character", or is it "Class"?I don't think we're using quite the same definition of "hate" here, so let me clarify which one I meant in the thread title:From Webster's: 1. (verb) To dislike greatly; to have a great aversion to. It expresses less than abhor, detest, and abominate, unless pronounced with a peculiar emphasis.If the "great aversion" in question were to an individual themselves, it might conflict with the religious codes followed by some Paladins (including this Catholicism of which you speak - which sourcebook is that in, again? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ), and I could understand your concern, but in this case it is directed at an abstraction that is almost certainly universally reviled by Good beings.P.S. I just noticed I used the wrong word for what I meant to ask in the original post. I will correct that immediately.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
