[QUOTE="Funeris, post: 2556220, member: 22792"] You're not just calling him a murderer...he is one. He admits it freely. He kills because he is a racist. No other reason. Although, he does claim he did it because there was no one else to take care of them.... [i]R i g h t . . . . [/i] Ok, mister macho dwarf. Flip sides as you see fit to rationalize your "justice". Here's a hypothetical situation for everyone. Let's say I grew up in the ghetto...filled with gangbangers. I spent everyday of my young life dodging bullets from one race or another. Later on in life, I walk down a street. I come upon a child of the race of gangbangers that had assualted me in my youth. I shoot this unarmed kid point-blank in this chest. Am I a murderer? [b]Hells Yes[/b]. On top of that I'd be a racist as well. I become easily fed up with these types of individuals in the really real world. They rationalize their prejudices away behind walls of excuses. Now as an aside, kudos to the dwarf player. He's role-playing a racist very well...and that's oh so hard to do. (And his impotence toward slaughtering the evil children just proved it moreso) [b]He's still wrong[/b]. The DM has already expressed that evil can be converted within her world. Conversion was an applicable route. That is what should have been done. As a paladin you are an arbiter of justice. This dwarf needs to be brought to justice. Call him out. If he doesn't go quietly, well he earned your righteous wrath. Paladins have backbones....use yours. Of course then, what do I really know? I play in a world where there are Good priests of evil deities and every goblin/orc/troll (not to mention demon/devil/'loth) can be converted from paths of evil. Just as angels can fall from the heavens. If you were a paladin in my game world...and chose not to bring the dwarf to justice...then your paladin abilities would disappear. Paladinhood is a lonely and difficult road. ~Funeris, the paladin. [/QUOTE]
