[QUOTE="Crucius, post: 6558981, member: 6791903"] As I stated above, this would probably be more of the Inquisitor's style. The Paladin is in it for the greatest current good. The Inquisitor is in it for the overall greatest good. Example: The Paladin is wandering around the forest, and finds a Blight Druid preparing an unwilling human sacrifice. This sacrifice will stop a werewolf that has been killing large amounts of people. But all the Paladin sees is an innocent person about to be killed; and so steps in and stops the Blight Druid. The Inquisitor: The Inquisitor is wandering around the forest, and finds a Blight Druid preparing an unwilling human sacrifice. This sacrifice will stop a werewolf that has been killing large amounts of people. The Inquisitor realizes that this will stop an evil he may not be able to stop otherwise; and so allows the Blight Druid to finish. From there, depending on the character, he may just keep going or kill the Blight Druid to stop him from murdering others. It's the same way with joining an evil organization. A Paladin may desire the greatest good; but as soon as people in there do unethical acts in front of the Paladin, she will be morally required to help. An Inquisitor can ignore it to suit their own and their deity's purposes. Is there anything to stop this Paladin from joining? Not unless your DM says so. But I would not expect them to have their Paladin powers for long. [/QUOTE]
