| Web, you make a good point. We are all kind of assuming that the dieties alignment is common knowlage. I guess that in a way is why I like looking at what order the particular cleric or paladin is from. From what is discribed, the Vigilant Eyes of the Deity is definately a Lawful good order, and would look at things from that perspective. They might either see Helm as Lawful Good, or they may see him as a god and as such beyond their right to question what alignment he actually is. |

Hmm. And what if someone were to see it as dramatically incorrect? Like, for instance, a paladin who left the worship of Tyr to join Bane, just because she thought Bane was "misunderstood"? 
And then discovered, when it was too late, that she was now a blackguard. Oops. 
'Course, this may have already happened. . . with Scyllua Darkhope. But who knows?

Had a player that played a Paladin of Tiamat, in 2E (so yes a Lawful Good Paladin of a Lawful Evil goddess), he was very good at it too. But then again, the player was pretty slick with words too, he could sell ice to an eskimo in the middle of a blizzard.
He always acted in a Lawful Good manner, while promoting and protecting the Faith of Tiamat. |
