A paladin of Heironeous would put equal weight in honor, justice and smiting evil as well as valor and courage. He is following what is expected of him; emotion if anything does not come into it. In this thread's case, it seems that the emotion (anger) of the paladin in fact got in the way of his clear and rational judgment. Whether these actions are enough for the paladin to temporarily lose Heironeous's (the DMs) support is up to the DM. As I said before, it looks like the DM's going down the atonement path (and correctly so in my honest opinion).Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
