Holy crap 2d8HP! That's a hell of a novel you wrote. Thanks!

To shed some light on why I ask (I should have written this in the op): I'm thinking about The Punisher (Thomas Jane version) with reference to a vengeance paladin. The Punisher only kills the "bad guys" (the Saint family), but he does so with extreme prejudice and without remorse.

In any case, there's more than enough here for me to make it work. Thank you all!
