Maybe the one paladin wants to help the other get their priorities back in order.   The important thing to remember in situations like this is that it is up to the players to choose an outcome that will be enjoyable for everyone involved, whatever that happens to mean.

#4 Imaculata Apr 11, 2015 16:27:21	Paladins are generally good people, who want the best for everyone. If another Paladin loses his/her faith, most likely they'll just try and get them to find their faith again. Players sometimes seem too eager to find excuses to kill their fellow players, but that is not how real people normally act. A paladin does not have to be a zealot. A paladin who loses her faith, is not all of a sudden evil.

Oathbreakers fully embrace becoming the opposite of what they once were, that's very different from someone who loses faith or becomes so discouraged that he no longer cares.
#6 EmpactWB Apr 11, 2015 12:18:58	In the same vein as other responses, it's entirely possible that they've been adventuring with conflicting oaths and when one gives up his, the other buys a round for everyone in the tavern to celebrate.   Fortunately, Paladins aren't tied to chivalry in this edition, so the "kill the infidel wherever you find him" bit isn't part of the class by default.
#7 BRJN Apr 11, 2015 17:45:27	To use an IRL example, ISIS and al-Qaeda are not Paladin orders.  Don't try to force your table's Paladin into that mold.   (The groups might be Blackguards, but that discussion should walk into the Off-Topic Tavern.)

It's up to the Not-Paladin to judge what happens, when It's paladin strays.   Paladin B if ordered by a superior Paladin/Cleric of the same order/deity/whatevs to kill a fellow Paladin (also of the same order/deity/whatevs) would probably be a Good Soldier at some point and carry out the orders. When? Ah that's a different question altogether.   Note this is for traditional pally.   Chaotic Evil Paladin doesn't need an "oath" justification to off somebody. (even if this would be bad real life table form)
