Small offenses that are ambiguous might qualify. Okay, so all offenses are ambiguous around here (<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />), but if the DM thinks it is ambiguous enough, then maybe losing one power would work.If the DM thinks the PC is being too greedy, he could lose Lay On Hands.If the DM thinks the PC is being too merciful/not merciful enough, he could lose Detect Evil.If the DM thinks the PC is being too proud, he could lose Divine Grace.These would all be within the confines of the Paladin's Code, of course. I don't want to make any real examples or anything, these are just ways to make the punishment fit the crime. So a chaotic act, or whatever, that was the result of one of the aforementioned qulaities might qualify for some temporary punitive measures to keep the Paladin on track. This would be especially good to stop gross violations before they existed, giving a little buffer for the Paladin to notice, "Hey, I might be pushing a bit too far with that," and back off.Of course, this would be supplement to any questions/concerns the Player brings up and any Code that the DM and Player work on together for the Paladin and/or his Order.</blockquote>
