[QUOTE="Demmero, post: 2712642, member: 13641"] Darn, this snuck in before my fact-fixing memo posted. ::Sighs:: We don't know this; the paladin never bothered to even use Detect Evil on him. We know he was playing some part in an evil act (the home invasion/etc.) but don't know if he's just a stooge. She wasn't murdered; in fact, she seems completely unharmed. Oh, BTW, she wasn't kidnapped either. No, not entirely. To a point, but 'eliminating' doesn't have to mean 'snapping the neck of a captive.' Also, there are degrees of evil. let me pull a couple of examples out of thin air: you might have a halfling who takes his friends to the paladin's house to hack up the guy's wife and unborn child (Very Evil) or you might have a generally nice and popular halfling who owes money to the wrong person and is told his debt will be forgiven if he knocks on a door, asks to see Joe, and keeps him busy for a while...and is also told that something bad will happen to his wife and three kids if he doesn't comply (a slightly evil act done by a generally good person). I'll need to ask for a rules quote on this one. Detect Evil would help...but that wasn't used in this instance. This one gets close to politics, so all I'll say is that IMHO not all evil acts require the death penalty. On the spot. With no semblence of a trial. [/QUOTE]
