[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1341276, member: 151"] True 'dat. Heck, the Aes Sedai of Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series are the perfect illustration of how to deceive, misdirect and avoid without actually lying. However, I personally think that a paladin can tell a lie under the right cirucmstances. This has been debated quite extensively here and other places. My personal view is that a paladin has some degree of lee-way. Being diplomatic at a dinner party about his lord's new surcoat is different from court intrigue. Lying to the city guard is far different from propping up straw men in armor on the castle walls, to scare the enemy away. Personally, if I were to put a PC in a situation where he had to intentionally put himself in a bad position with no way out, there'd better be a way out or solution a little later. Is sneaking into town more honest than lying by omission at the gate? Personally, I don't think so, but YMMV. [/QUOTE]
