So he/she will be evil, yet not do anyting wrong? Sounds more like neutral to me...
*confused*
Oh no, trust me, it works. I argued a paladin into a crisis of faith on the last server i played this character on.
I need to change a flat, take a shower, maybe get some lunch and/or go shopping, then ill be back with a write-up of what i have in mind. Ill start a new thread, though, i think it will look better.

Yes, this totally works. My paladin relies on his detect evil ability to figure out who's evil and who's not so he doesn't have to make judgements just on the basis of what people do or say. His justification is that his god gave him the ability to discern evil since sometimes evil can use sweet words and act in an outwardly good manner. He actually feels very sorry for people who don't have that ability and have to rely solely on people's outward actions to determine their true afiliation.
That's why I try never to party up with an evil character when I'm playing him (unless it is totally OOC or just for RP). I just can't see my paladin ever "forgetting" to use his god-given abilities or ignoring the results if he does use them.
Earavien Erinen - Monk of the Whirling Serpent
Delia Amolyn - party girl
Guardsman Dirk Lyonsbane - Paladin of Girru and Redboot
Serena Rashesef - Wizard of the Flame
Borag Malsher - BBBBRRRUUUUUUTTTEEE!!!
My paladin uses her detect evil power and glares at those that are evil. But she doesn't ACT on that knowledge (like ATTACK! SMITE EVIL! RAR!) unless the person has expressively done something evil. She has to respect the laws of the town (no attacking in town, alas) being Lawful, so there is always that in mind. Probably the only ones she would disregard any concept of honor (where she doesn't attack someone when they are down and cannot fight back) or mercy would be EOS.
