> I'm not too sure how to answer a question like that... It's a difficult one to justify. Only that in general, someone who has put their life to being with the law finds little more important that the quest for justice and such. Generally, however, groups with opposites (such as Paladins with Necromancers) get together only when hunting a powerful criminal or an known enemy of some sort.

Some Immortals are quite concerned about things like this, such as Shokai: "All duties to guild, race, and cabal are secondary to the duty of a Maran." One empowered by the Silver Phoenix would have some trouble with this one... I must admit, I'm curious if anyone has had this problem of cabal vs. religion come up as a serious problem in role... Anyone?
I can honestly say that I do have a problem with it.
An arbiter paladin may be the epitome of law, but he
is also the epitome of goodness and rightousness. This
is a little difficult to just toss aside.
If I remember right, Etherian is a paladin of Bria (I
think I remember him posting this.. apologies Eth if
i'm wrong). You are right when you said below it's left
up to the god to decide whether or not this action is
appropriate in a given circumstance. After Bria's post
regarding her character, it would seem to me that she
might not mind given the circumstances of the log Eth
posted.
If it were a paladin of Raisa, I would naturally assume
that she'd smack him around considering her religion.
I was just curious as to other people's thoughts.
