[QUOTE="Valmur_Dwur, post: 248832, member: 5065"] Ok i'll step into this one:D Which BTW is what a Paladin usually does:eek: As to the first set of questions it still comes down to how YOU see a Paladin of Ilmater acting(with DM approval of course). Because Ilmater is a sort of "take the world's pain" type of god doesn't mean his clerics and paladins can't help "lighten" Ilmater's load. Look at it this way, let's take one of your "evil" aligned slaves that "anders" purchased. He may have prayed to Ilmater when he was being beaten or when his idea of needing the help of Ilmater arose. In the very next (minute, hour, day) he may have said a prayer to Bane or another evil God to please kill his slaveowner. So are clerics and paladin's supposed to right every evil? Probably by the description only the "evil" the cleric or paladin feels strongly about. Now on to the next question about what to do. I disagree with Lost Soul about buying the slaves and setting them free for the following reasons. You haven't taught the slaves or Anders anything. Anders still gets paid so he figures he must be more circumvent in buying slaves so that the next time he comes upon "adventurers" they don't just free his slaves without paying him. Think about the slaves, they're happy they're free but what do they do? You give them some money and sent them on their way, to where? Perhaps all they know is that they are to be somewhere told what to do when to do it. And the "evil" slaves do you just let them go? Know that the paladin knows they are evil he can't in good concience just let them walk away. The solution I have? Free the slaves first, explain to "anders" that buying slaves to sell again is wrong and isn't a good idea since one of these times the slave owners of the other land may decide "anders" would make a good slave. Finally offer "employment" to all the slaves so that they can feel as a useful part of society and your Paladin can keep an eye on the evil ones to gauge the "evilness" of their souls. Of course if the ex-slaves don't want to be hired then allow them to leave with a little pocket money to get them to the next town. Give "anders" money to help his family and explain that another line of income should be looked for. whew WAY too LONG [/QUOTE]
