Since Vindicator posted this:

My DM is a lurker but not a poster...he *will* be reading your responses to this situation. He has agreed to abide by whatever consensus you, the jury, arrive at. (For that I give him lots of credit.)

It seems reasonable to me that some sort of tallying system be available.

[Piratecat]

I voted no in the above poll; I wouldn't take away a paladin's powers for that.

Ditto.

 

[Darklone]

Yes/no is too simple for me and most of the guys who tend to yes. Nearly noone proposed to take the powers away, most asked for a minor atonement for the honorless act.

 

[jgbrowning]

I wouldn't take away his powers. I'd only take one away (Aura of Courage or Detect Evil) and make him atone to get it back, so I'm not sure where I should vote on this one.

[Oscar carramiñana]

I vote for vindicator don't loose their status he's a Paladin.
Ask to the 10 age child opinion about this.

 

[Piratecat]

It's worth pointing out that even though I disagree with the DM call, I'm not a big fan of "DMing by commitee." Letting strangers settle a disputed DM call gives away part of the DM's authority and sets a very bad precedent. Is this going to happen now every time the players disagree with a DM decision?

I think if this was me, I'd say "I'll listen to arguments from other folks, then make my own decision."

Of course, I should have pointed this out before I voted.

 

[diaglo]

without knowing or actually playing with all those involved i must say my vote is biased.

still i would strike the DM colors from the DM

and take away the paladin's powers.
