[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6038914, member: 6669384"] "Lawful" is an odd term, since there are several usable definitions of the term. He must keep his word. That's pretty much a given. He must abide by the standards of society, which includes the just laws of that society. Does he have to follow a particular religion? Oddly, that isn't in the rules anywhere. If he does, must it be an LG type faith? Again, not in the rules anyplace. Also, did you know that, for several centuries, the Roman Catholic church (under the guidance of a number of Bishops, Cardinals etc.) owned a number of brothels? The believed that periodic "release" was necessary for a man's health, and better that he do this in willing company than commit the "Sin of Onnan", or be driven to rape. So if the law in specific, society in general, and even the most conservative of religions allow prostitution, then he isn't doing anything unlawful in defending and/or utilizing the services of prostitutes. Defend the weak? Usually a good policy. But when Law and Good conflict, Good must prevail. He must maintain the Lawful part of his alignment, which means that he is predominantly Lawful in his behavior. But a single Evil act ends his career as a holy warrior. I'd allow him, but I'd keep an eye on him as well. [/QUOTE]
