The paladin shouldnt be shut so tightly in a stereo typical box; its not fair to do so. And as far as I know no law is broken when a paladin sleeps with a prostitute, gets drunk or speaks crassly. After all the horror, guts, blood, murder and pillage, not to mention close shaves with the embodimient of pure evil, it seems quite plausible that someone that had a deep sense of good and justice could get pretty scarred and cinical about the world, and even so grit his teeth and fight the good fight when he was needed... a divine rambo lets say... I personally dont imagine all the gods in dnd require their paladins to act as if the were catholic priests.</blockquote>
