[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 3137029, member: 20931"] Innocent, maybe not, but they can be good. And by that measure, any PC's or NPC needn't change their ways to comform to a paladins view. He chose to fight evil, including taking the risk of killing those who are there for reasons other than evil. If he kills those through willful negligence, it's on his head. It goes the same way for the paladin. Killing someone who happens to be in the area, who didn't participate in the fight, simply because they happen to know the evil guy. Just because they happened to be there doesn't make it right. If the paladin took no actions to prevent this other than 'CHARGE!!' then he should deal with the consequences. So when police were investigated for putting 40 bullets into a car for someone who might have had a gun, or the police officer who shot the Army airborne in the back, or the police involved in the Rodney King beating, or why any officer is required to report every use of their fire arm, or that security officers are required to show reason for their actions if they detain someone, its just a random fluke of morals? People are tried for war crimes simply because reality took a radical turn somewhere? Just because it isn't listed in the news doeasn't mean that action wasn't taken. If we keep using Rl as an example, why should we expect less if our own military and police have to answer for there actions. [/QUOTE]
