[QUOTE="sword-dancer, post: 1573005, member: 1491"] Depends, are you in war or such situation. with the orcs, it isn`t necessarily an violation of the code to take advantage of an enemy. Like an attack at their camp when they sleep or an ambush. -Or when orcs are automatically evil born and not reedeemable creatures. If not the situation would call for less violent actions. To clear it i don`t fence my words in, of this act 1) If your comrade is fighting against an enemy and is in danger of going down, would you think it disonorable to take his enemy out of action? 2) Yes, and this would be in most just "medival" societies reason enough for a slow painful and public execution. if the act didn`t happen in a "just" society the pally had a duty to dispense justice as he saw fit. A Lensman in this situation would be acting within his duties and authorisation of the law of civilisation to execute the bastard on the spot. 3) + 6) The other possibilities to neutralice the man, are not of first concern, the question ist violated the pally his code, especially enough to fall.. A pally isn`t a robot, he is a "human" being, and rieghteous holy wrath is a really approbiate reaction. I think at worst he goes a bit over the top, but nothing more. A Method to stop him, 4) These are "medieval" times, with a "medival" and more hardened lifestyle. Death is normally an accepted and normal part of life. Add that psychological knowledge weren`t really exist in these times, were punishment was often cruel and torture was an accepted method. 5) I don`t see your point here? 7) This is a point of the difference between the GMs/&Gods POV and the Pally point of view, and the personalty of the pally. Would Solomon Kane have killed the man? Yes, No doubt, No quarter asked no Quarter given. Would he ´ve killed him from behind, most likely. 8) Honor could be defined by many things, how you fight, for what you fight. btw a Samurai had killed the man if he thought he must test his sword, or wasn`t polite enough in the perfectest sense without a second thought. And i know what being involved in killing, even if absolute nessecary, a human being could traumatice a man. [/QUOTE]
