You need to make sure that there is a way for the paladin to be able to choose a path that won't lead to a fall. If the only choices are choosing the lessor of two evils and regardless of what you choose you fall then that is not fair or fun.In a Kalamar game I played in with a different DM we had a paladin whose sister was sold into slavery because of a crime she did not commit. We tried to prove her innocence but were unable to. Now slavery is legal in Kalamar so if the paladin went himself to get her out using other than legal means he would be breaking the law. He did try buying her but her owner (who set her up) would not sell her.So the paladin did the gray thing he went to the Broken chain a group that is opposed to slavery and told them the story. He did not help with the planning or the freeing of this man's slaves he did not finance it nor did he see his sister after they freed her and sent her away.The DMs decision was that in this case the paladin did not lose his ability because in this case good over ruled law. If you play the paladin code as rigid as it is written then you really can't have pladins in gray worlds.</blockquote>
