If your lightwalker finds that the answer to conflict is always to kill, you won't be playing a lightwalker all the time. This holds true regardless of class and cabal.

Weird situations arise that hardcoding cannot adequately handle. Prior to steroids being given to the inner guardians, my elf defended the Refuge from three Tribunals(paladin, an evil bard, and a neutral warrior), and a Scion. In a different context, a PALADIN (of all classes!) ought to be in conflict with the bard and jumping all over that Scion instead of the high elf defending his home from the four invaders, but I think the raid started as a retrieval for both the Tribunal and Scions, and although the Outer fell quickly, the Scion wasn't about to leave when there was the opportunity for fresh meat during the raid. The result was something that looked very much like bad class/alignment roleplay, but you have to look at the larger context, and only a human can do that. And if that situation had been judged as offcolor, if an immortal caught it, it might have been dealt with and I never heard about it, and that's their business.


My favorite quote from the scene, prior to the attack on the inner guardian:
Outlander: "You don't really want to kill a worshipper of Shokai, do you?"
Tribunal paladin: "No sweets, so why don't you leave?"


P.S. The Scion turned on the paladin when the raid went sour, so all was left right in the world.

Addendum: For my next Outlander, can Bioempathy last as long as a WANTED flag and Trepidation give Bloody Shackles damage? Muchos gracias!
