Hi all, need a little advice, so I am running a new AP(Carrion Crown), and I have two players that want to Play as estranged Brothers, one wants to Be a Paladin(LG) and the second wants to be a Slayer(NE), they are called together as per the Start of the Campaign.
The Brothers want the brotherly Conflict to Continue through the campaign with both Brothers trying to Convert the Other to His Idea of how the world should be, now while the Slayer being NE due to a Bitter backup with his family and slowly going down a more evil path in life, has no problem working with a Paladin, the Paladin Code lists that he cannot(in my interpretation) work with Evil for a Long period of time, Short periods yes but long no.
Now to the question, would a Paladin actively scan his companions in their first meeting to see if they were evil ? or would he try and feel out there intentions ? or as would probably most of us if we had an estranged sibling(that we had not seen in years and had no news of) just think they were being a Bit more of a C**K at this moment and then try and bring them round to being who they used to be ? and what impact would this have on the Paladins journey towards a Possible Fall (this depend on who wins the arguments)
How would you handle this? I can see so many wonderful role playing moments with the Paladins Very Soul hanging in the Balance, but as he sees it his Brothers soul needs saving ?
I am tempted to allow the Evil alignment and to allow the Paladin to work with him as long as He douse not use detect evil on him, and once he finds out have it as his side mission to bring his brother back to the fold of good.
