Message: <blockquote data-quote="d4" data-source="post: 1265256" data-attributes="member: 12699">it really depends on the status of the paladin's church. the paladin could say, "I am a paladin of the god of truth, honor, and law [or whatever], and have sworn an oath to never tell a lie and to uphold the law and honor in all things. the holy power of my god has shown me that this person is evil. if you doubt me, you doubt my god as well." if the religion of the paladin's god has any sort of clout in the society, then i'd think something like that would have quite a lot of legal pull.i'd think that the vast majority of people in a society would be aware of the holy powers of the servitors of the gods, and would respect those who receive power from gods known to be good and just. i'd think the word of a lawful good cleric or paladin would have quite a large effect on the legal system.</blockquote>
