What I see happening is, she lost her Paladin powers on the spot after killing Shojo, but she's so loving amped on self-righteous fury that she doesn't realize it.

I don't think being struck by lightning is something she can avoid noticing

If it was big, like teleporting a dragon into a city to avert a war, killing thousands of unstatted commoners then it would probably mean an alignment change.

Especially if you did it 35 minutes ago.

Yeah, but wasn't it a mile or something like that? I think Belkar's fine unless Roy bites it.

Hmm. Belkar is on the ground... and Roy is on a flying zombie dragon high in the air...

Interesting that Redcloak isn't so caring about the fates of the Hobgoblins that he'll take a minute to let the Hobgeneral actually get down from the Magical Elephant.

Don't forget it has to be "for the wrong reasons". To save his own life doesn't seem like a bad idea to me.

I hate to be contrary on Reincarnation, but I got curious and pulled down my 1st and 2nd player handbooks to compare the spells and they're not what has been said. In 1st Ed, the Druid spell has mainly animals with a few odd things like centaurs, dryads, fauns, pixies, and Wolverine (as we to assume that this spell summons adamantium?).

You know the wolverine is a real animal, yes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine

In fact, I'd have a harder time coming up with prominent examples of prophecy being misused. The Star Wars prequels are an obvious choice, but in general, it's not got that bad a legacy as a concept.

There's a novel by [author's name redacted because this is a huge spoiler] in which the villain says "I don't understand it! I did everything in accordance with the prophecy, and yet my empire has collapsed and the heroine is coming to kill us!", and his assistant says "uh... this is kind of embarrassing, but... that wasn't actually a prophecy. I went to the oracle, gave him a big bag of cookies, and told him what to say. I thought it'd be more interesting like this!"

Hel was part of the god pact that created this world, they're all holding each other to that pact. The elf gods were incorporated later. The Dark One, on the other hand, is trying to unleash the Snarl.

The rules around the godsmoot aren't fundamental laws of nature, they're just an agreement they all signed up to.

it could be argued that something all the gods agreed to, is a fundamental law of nature.

I heard it pointed out recently how using references remains a way to make jokes that wouldn't be done in general anymore, by laundering them through referential humor. So you might not make a fat joke, but you could reference how a famous person is fat or maybe a famous line about someone being fat or some such thing. I hadn't really noticed before, but it's true, and definitely something that can trip people up.

"It's not a rape joke, it's a rape joke joke", basically?
