[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 3136429, member: 4910"] Or else...what? I guess that one really boils down to a matter of is the DM the type who would play it straight, or are they the type who would try to pull the rug out from under the paladin because for some reason they think that sort of thing is fun. Haha! Those armed hooligans wearing the 'I *heart* robbing people' shirts were just farmers, despite all the signs to the contrary I was feeding you! Take that ya darn paladin, no powers for you. :p Right, but you're not a paladin, and a paladin is neither a cop nor a security guard. Imagine instead in your position, that instead of Detect Evil, you have Detect Criminal. If someone pings would you be justified in calling the law? Now further imagine that the law isn't nearly as pervasive as it is in our society, that there may or may not be anyone to call, and beyond that they may not be as well equipped to deal with the situation as you are. I disagree, you're on good footing, but it definitely shouldn't be the one and only thing you go off of, certainly. As for the 1984 quip? Hardly. Let's not be obtuse, here. [/QUOTE]
