The gods understand that mortal affaris contain shades of grey.Besides, there are three ways to lie and only one of them violates the generic paladin code.#1: First and clumsiest is to tell a flat untruth. This is not allowed to paladins under the generic code. "No I didn't hear the High Priests speech. The crowd was too loud where I was."#2: Tell the truth but not all of it. "No I didn't hear the High Priests speech, it wasn't audible from where I was."#3: Tell the truth and maybe all of it, but tell it in such a way that they don't believe you. *Rolls eyes* "No I didn't hear the High Priests speech, I was far too busy seducing his daughter at the time." *bluff roll*Note that if a DM tries to outlaw #2&3 then there can never be any paladins anywhere since both of them can crop up unwittingly. See any sitcom for examples of accidental misunderstandings.</blockquote>
