Hand of Wrath or Fall Bait


Advice


I can't remember the last time I played a good aligned PC, in fact I have even said before that I don't particularly like even having paladins in my party. But I have been toying with the idea lately of stepping out of my pragmatic comfort zone and creating a character who is Lawful Stupid on crack.

The basic idea is that this would be an older grizzled man who had his livelihood and family destroyed by Aspis. He is a broken, jaded man seeking to extract vengeance on all things evil. I had planned to go Mysterious Stranger/Paladin (I have never played either of these classes as a player). I want him to worship Dranngvit, the LN goddess of vengeance.

Now I have seen many times on these boards that paladins who kill wrongdoers that are say incapacitated or who have surrendered should fall. I am wondering if worshipping Dranngvit should buy me any wiggle room in this endeavor. After all, punishing those who have wronged others is her MO, and it seems like she would be less likely look harshly on this behavior than gods geared more towards mercy and redemption.

I do have PFS in mind so I am sure YMMV is the most correct response, but I just wanted to take the pulse and get an idea of about how often I could play such a character. I would of course make sure the GM was on board before pulling this one out.
