[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2708947, member: 19675"] Hmmmm... 1(Intruder in house)(captured*questioned*killed)/X(Invaders in the house) + at night + 1 kidnapped wife(Paladin) + 0(additional information) + Paladin's divine duty to smite evil = probable justified homicide + (aquittal*no loss of paladinhood) By my equation, the Paladin did nothing wrong. Heck, I'm sure I could get the guy acquitted, and I make a crappy defense attorney! Heironeous: Domains Good, Law, [B]War[/B]. Promotes:[B] Justice[/B], Valor, Chivalry and Honor. Kidnapper: acessory to a violent[B] crime[/B], didn't talk. Chivalrous age setting- Knights were answerable only to self, code, peers and superiors- essentially, like Judge Dred, they can say "I am the Law!" Slaying someone who is an accomplice to an evil act, and who refuses to cooperate, is not evil. Perhaps this song lyric may clarify: The god you serve may be good...but that doesn't neccessarily mean he is slow to anger! Besides, if the kidnapping were benign, the accomplice would have been wise to TALK to the man who literally holds his life in his hands! [/QUOTE]
