      Agreed. It evokes a whole story. Either the Paladin is so overcommitted to their work to such a degree that they are willing to go on dangerous adventures or the society is so legalistic it’s the Paladin’s duty to accompany their cases wherever they go without exceptions. Alternatively, maybe the Paladin wanted to be an adventurer anyway to escape their boring life as a parole officer and found just such a situation that they can fufill their desires and duties at the same time.

    Alternatively, the Rogue is a corrupt parole officer and the Paladin just ran afoul of the law that they didn’t understand because they ain’t from around here.

      The entire party is parole officers for one guy assigned from different cities and countries.

      Thanks to him, they’ve all become involuntary murderhobos and can never go home.

        I like it. Could be a real fun one shot or mini arc.

    Wait what?

    My old group actually just did this a few times, or something close to it in non DnD ttrpgs.

    … People have not thought of this before?

    It seems so obvious, it … gives you at least a framework for part of the backstory for two characters, helps make the initial ‘how does the party all meet’ phase maybe make more sense.

        Oh I wasn’t trying to make fun of anyone, I was expressing genuine shock that this concept was not more commonly used, and explaining why.
