[QUOTE="CrusaderX, post: 2335533, member: 808"] I completely disagree. Paladins have to be Lawful Good and follow a code of honor. That's it. And it really needs to be stressed here that [i]not all codes are the same[/i]. It should go without saying, but Paladins need not be mindless clones of one another. If a Paladin is Lawful Good and follows a code, he's a Paladin, regardless of whether he does things your way or not. One of my favorite role-models for Paladins is [b]Samurai Jack[/b]. Jack isn't a Paladin, of course, but he's definitely a Lawful Good warrior with a strong code of honor. The Paladin similarities are very apparent. So what Jack can do, as far as most moral decisions go, my Paladins can do. If Lawful Good Jack received crucial information from the Chaotic Scotsman, Jack definitely would not say "we can not use that, it has been tainted by your underhandedness". Neither would my Paladin. Jack, like my Paladin, would use that information, and go kick evil's butt. He wouldn't appove of the Chaotic character's methods, but he would also be wise enough (Paladins are usually big on Wisdom, after all) to see the bigger picture here. Such a Paladin is not being wrongly-played, by any stretch of the imagination. [/QUOTE]
