[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 305646, member: 527"] Good, then we dont have to worry about what the traditional Paladins Code says about deception etc, only what Tyrs dogma says. But here is a part of Tyrs theology which might cause problems: [I]"Reveal the truth, punish the guilty and always be true in your actions"[/I] I dont think the truth has been revealed here; as Forrester said a while back, "this God is probably of the opinion that Retribution should be PUBLIC." That might be as cold-blooded as dumping the corpses of the slain in the middle of the Bandit Camp and proclaiming, "I slew these wrongdoers in the name of (homebrewed) Tyr!", but it looks as if the Paladin took some pains to conceal the truth instead of reveal it. Being "true in your actions" is another sticky wicket; but the rest of this thread has already covered varying opinions on this issue. I suppose the homebrewed Tyr might not agree with this little chunk of dogma, but I think its vital to have Paladins understand clearly their gods philosophy; including what he/she values most if hard choices have to be made. Retribution over Truth? Or Truth over Retribution? [/QUOTE]
