Thank you ^_^

More realistically, a lot of people consider that to be reasonable, adventurers especially. I think war is a very good means of stopping bad people in large numbers, and one of only two ways to make peace with them.

The other being surrender.

10-05-04, 05:58 PM In Forgotten Realms, Tempus is the CN God of War. He supports peace, because he thinks that peace is necessary to give a sense to war. It's the opposite principle giving a sense to his own principle, what could be a Paladin without evil to fight, what could be Robin Hood with the Sheriff of Nothingham?

10-05-04, 08:36 PM doesn't mean you revel in it. A paladin, or even a cleric, might feel an obligation to stand against <insert villian here> but if said foe was vanquished, and peace reigned, they may hang up their weapons and start a family. Only to be called into service some time in the future ;) War domain for troubled times and Healing for times of peace. I don't see why it couldn't work.
