[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 1389234, member: 11300"] Hello Everyone, It seems like the motives of the Paladin ran something along the lines of: "I have this magnificently wrought arrow of dragon slaying that could smite you in a twinkling but I am going to forego this weapon as a sign of my earnest, goodly and wise intentions towards you in terms of current discussions." How wise, intelligent, cowardly or noble this motive was is moot. The paladin took an oath - which I assume has some level of importance in your game - to use it to slay evil dragons or to pass it on to others more disposed or courageous to use it. The thought of such a Paladin foresaking this seems worthy of some form of action. Stripping him of the privileges and powers bestowed upon him would be a suitable course of action. However, what is the Paladin's code? If keeping one's oath or word is not part of their code, then perhaps the Paladin should just cop a little voltage for his grevious error in attempting to deal in such a way with a presumably evil entity. Otherwise, his God should teach him that his word is his bond with the world and that breaking it shames himself, his God and his order. I say atonement is on the cards. As for greater good; fine act that way but at the expense of your Paladinhood. The path a Paladin must walk is narrow indeed. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
