 With out a doubt, paladins are the best characters to play in AD&D.
 I currently have a 7th level paladin that strictly enforces control
 over other members of the party--his word is LAW.  Maybe I like
 playing them so much because I despise paladin like people in real
 life with a passion--CLOSED minded people who are TOO religious.

 Anyway, I was wondering what the problem is with a Paladin 
 slaying captured evil types (especially chaotic ones)?  Isn't
 the main purpose of a Paladin to further the ideals of
 lawful good by exterminating evil?  I don't see any
 thing wrong with killing captured orcs or kobolds because
 they simply can't be converted because they have been reared
 evil.  It would be like trying to convert a Muslum to Christianity.

 My paladin believes in capital punishment.
