Message: <blockquote data-quote="Meeki" data-source="post: 3329455" data-attributes="member: 17257">Did anyone take into consideration that not dispatching of them and leaving them there might also be deemed "evil"?  The tadpoles will no inevitably die if they aren't fed, and if the party knows that leaving them there to starve would also be evil "GASP".  Anyways if they register as evil and they are trolls that are always evil that means that they have an evil disposition and should be dealt with according; however tadpoles that register as evil means they are able to indeed register between good and evil and act accordingly. They aren't evil outsiders or created or generic evil undead so I don't know why they are registering as evil at all.  Depending on the campaign Paladins can be various things; such as champions of Good (who happen to be lawful because of the rules) or Champions of Good and Law.  In the most generic case paladins have good intentions and attempt to follow and create order.  In my games I wouldn't penalize a paladin, none of my gods would keep those tadpoles alive if they were in the paladin's shoes so I dont see why a paladin would have to.  Appreciation of life I have never seen as a paladin trait (unless the paladin worhips an appropriate god), sounds more of a cleric worshiper a god/goddess of "life" or a druid that has some sort of fetish with keeping things alive at all times.  In my view point I don't see a generic paladin of heironious as seeing the life of evil things as sacred, even if they are helpless.  In this case i dont see a tadpole registering as evil as innocent since it is obviously having evil thoughts or maybe eats its siblings in order to grow up and do more evil deeds.  Personally I wouldn't have had the tadpole register as evil until it could comprehend and act upon the difference.</blockquote>
