[QUOTE="Westwind, post: 305324, member: 3241"] The code is roughly equal to the bits of Tyr's dogma I cited above, with a decent amount of room for mercy (he has a +1 shortsword of mercy called Clemency--it gets a lot of use). Although all Paladins are clearly LG, this church is a little more Lawful while the other LG supports Paladins who err on the Good side of things. Most of the time this translate to our paladin filling out legal paperwork. Good example: a church moved legally into the neighborhood (CN god of nature (wild aspects), chaos and storms). The Paladin wanted them out, but couldn't really do anything about it directly. So, along with the bard, they bought/leased up all the surrounding property (money scale sure did change from 2e to 3e), invested a ton of money into an opera house and other high-end things and made it so the church couldn't afford the property tax any more. Took a long time, but nice and legal. (Took a long time in-game, but this is a long-running campaign) His more recent actions are much more direct than normal, but he gets VERY direct when the laws allow him to do so. Moreso under martial law. So, in short, the code presented in the PH isn't a good approximation of his code, which is much more specific. Is he a good guy? Sure, he strives to use every cure disease per week he can (I almost never see Paladins visit leper colonies). But I would not describe him as a softy. [/QUOTE]
