Yeah, that's not what I mean by innocent.garrbear758 wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 8:29 pmExcept we're talking about a world where good and evil don't mean nice and mean. Killing innocent goblin children is considered "good" in FR. The best played paladins I've seen were terrifying.Hazard wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 7:46 pmI just want to clarify that when I made the little comment about paladin 'not being good' I did not mean killing is evil or anything even close to that. I fully expect paladins to smite evil.
I was poking fun at all the obviously evil (but mechanically good) paladins I have come across over the years. The ones that slaughter innocents, or go into murderous rages, the ones that take great pleasure in the suffering of others whether it be simply killing them, or ruining their lives, or just making them miserable.
I've seen some really nasty, horrible "paladins", that if they were blackguards I'd recommend an RPR boost, but they weren't. They were paladins.
That's what I meant. I just wanted to make that clear, so that I'm not put in the camp of 'paladins should be nice' or whatever is going on above me.
I mean when they kill non-evil humans who have done nothing wrong in a world where good and evil don't mean nice and mean.
I don't care about nice and mean. I am saying, and I thought I was saying it pretty clearly, that there have been some pretty evil paladins. Evil by FR standards.
Evil as in, they should have their alignment shifted towards evil and their paladin levels removed or changed, but that kind of thing (as far as I know) isn't enforced here.
