There's nothing in the paladin's code of conduct in the PHB about that because it would likely take the entire book to codify exactly what a paladin can and cannot get away with. And if you think that all the paladin has to do is obey the few rules in that code to stay a paladin, then such a paladin could easily be a villain so long as he just follows those rules. And you suppose wrong on all counts in my game. And you'll never get the chance to know, I wouldn't have a person with your attitude in my game if I was paid! You don't know me. You sound like you've got your own ideas for paladins, so good for you. You stick with that if that's what makes you happy. Might want to lay off all the assumptions, everyone knows what happens when you assume.... Part of the "act with honor" from their code extends to fallen enemies, imc. Treat them with honor in death as in life. I've never read any novels or heard of any tales where paladins would desecrate or loot corpses or condone such actions. And definitely not allowing a vampire to feed on the recently dead--which is what the context of that point was.That's right, and they shouldn't unless it is a very extreme circumstance--which I've already stated.That's right, and undead register as evil. So, you've just seconded a point I've been making. Thank you. I didn't. I just stated that the paladin shouldn't work with a vampire. There's no compelling reason for him to do so, but since it's a half-vampire, that can be worked on. Just out of curiosity, LordBOB, you never stated if the game was a Ravenloft game or not. Is it? You've got the right idea about paladins. They are supposed to get rid of evil, but it doesn't always have to be by the end of a blade. Redemption is always harder than violence and the reward should be greater too. If you can get the half-vamp to do good, that would be great and could make for an interesting campaign. Just keep in mind the consequences of that half-vamp having to feed.</blockquote>
