[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4180767, member: 19675"] How chaotic of you! ;) But seriously- that kind of conflation of "Good" and "Law" could be problematic for you down the line. After all, I bet you could find threads on this very site that discuss & support ambush as a valid tactic for Paladins, or letting them benefit from a "Sleep" or "Color Spray" spell cast by an ally (or by themselves, if they somehow have that capability). Dexter's use of a drug to incapacitate a foe is no different. Ditto their ability or even mandate to act as judge, jury and [I]executioner[/I] under certain conditions, including especially the execution of persons or creatures deemed iredeemably and irrevocably evil. That being's current state of incapacity rarely matters- Paladins are allowed to coup de grace, and if a Paladin is acting within his authority, execution of a prisoner is no different than Dex's action- in both cases, the victim is likely to be incapacitated. (It could be, in certain rare circumstances, that the person to be executed is given "a chance" by virtue of some kind of trial by combat- usually typified by something like gladiatorial combats.)
