I do think that not being celibate disqualifies the paladin from being a paladin. I would not allow Cedric in my campaign. However, you were arguing that prostitution was evil and that I would not accept.So, how does one act when confronting creatures</blockquote>I have a huge problem with this list. Alignments can change. What if a person who is evil today has an epiphany and becomes good tomorrow? Unless you're dealing with outsiders, the vast majority of evil creatures is possessed with free will and capable of becoming non-evil. And what about human beings who are evil? Is it okay to summarily execute an evil 12 year old child who hasn't actually committed a crime yet? To me, that's evil. The second problem you have is one of imperfect knowledge. How can someone who is not a paladin or in possession of sufficient Knowledge skills to know all the characteristics of the individual/species they face make these calls? How do you know the intelligence and alignment of every creature you meet unless you're a paladin with maxed-out Know - Arcana, Religion, Nature, etc.? How do you act with imperfect knowledge?I agree with you here. But this does not make paying for sex evil. I have read your views about the sex trade and I strongly suggest you get a little more educated about its realities. Perhaps you should read the actual biographical accounts of people who have worked in the industry. A vocal minority of those women and men who work in the field enjoy their work or simply find it the least objectionable of the available options; if their clients enjoy receiving their services, where does the evil come from?[/QUOTE]
