[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 3136460, member: 20931"] What would happen to a paladin if he responded in the same manner, that innocents are expendable in the cause of destroying evil? They may not be able to provide perfect justice, but they have access to tools that allow them to come closer than anything we do here in the real world. Applying the same jaded philosophy to a character that can heal with a touch, detect evil, create water, and detect lies at a level when he's capable of handling most brigands on his own just doesn't fit. Since we're usuing military actions as an example; a marine in iraq was a gunner on board a HUMVEE, using a .50 cal machine gun. They we fired on by someone in a building, and fired shots over the target instead of indiscriminately through the building. Heads popped up, and he knew that if he fired through the building, he would have killed civilians. MOre fire came in, so the driver booked it out with the gunner providing cover fire. In this case, civilians in the same area as opponents were not considered acceptable losses. How so? [/QUOTE]
