I like to start off any "evil" PC group by reminding them that evil, even chotic evil has to work together or there would be no CE races, because they couldn't work toghere long enough to dreate the race let alone make villages, or cave settlements or whatever. Setting the goudnwork for basically woriing together is the only way to start and continue to run any typ of evil game setting.

I think for a Paladin calss to really work, a lie of any kind should be a wrongful act.

The very fact a paladin is a paladin should be why they are trusted to do the right thing including not lie. A white lie is still hurting someone.

Hornoring the truth, Good and Law is what makes a paladin and gives him/her special powers. There are ways aorund telling a lie as talked about eariler, but one way could be to simply tell the truth.

Child Example:
"Yea, I saw a child run in here and yea, I know where he went. Now you best all have a flippin' good reason for chasing him with weapons out or there is about to be an epic butt kicking. So what's your business with him?"

Guard example: "
I ain't got yuor toll, and even if I did, you stealing from others needs to end right now. So, give it some thought and either pull those weapons so I can show you how to use them, or continue on and change your ways boys."

OK, so at what point does a Lawful character risk an alignment change?

Wouldn't a PC playing a Lawful Neutral character need to have something set up before hand that would dictate his or her 'Lawfulness'?

Does he or she act diferently if from a kingdom that leans more to Evil than one that is form a kingdom that leans more toward good?

How does that PC intigrate into a new kingdom with totally different laws. Let's be extreme and say he ro she was born where slavery was unheard of, then comes to one where it is commonplace and even normal.

Does this PC fight agianst it, or does he or she simply accept it and never own one out of the morality of where he or she was born.

Or even worse, a Lawful Nuetral PC who has broken the law unknowingly and is imprisoned or enslaved. Does he or she accept this or does fighting agianst it change his or her alignment.

At what point dow a lawful character need to stop following the 'law of the land'?

Is there a point where a lawful character simply has to break the law in order to do what needs to be done? This includes, but is certainly not limited to an evil empire with opressive and even down right evil laws.

Where does a Lawful character, especailly a Lawful Neutral one, get his or her laws from, does the lawful character maintain the laws of where he was born, or does this need to swithc to fit the 'Laws of the Land' he or she is currently in.
