[QUOTE="greg kaye, post: 9049435, member: 7030543"] If you're talking in reference to your most recent there may be a few reasons. It's partly because moderators have, I think fairly, asked you to: and partly because, when you have then come up with a new thread idea, you haven't edited this into the OP that the original thread started with. Another reason is that your "new thread" post didn't contain any question marks. There was nothing specific to answer, just a content that no one responded to. This problem was exacerbated because, as chance would have it, your "Whys their no answers?" post happened to appear at the top of a new page which meant that, unfortunately, this left people without immediate reference to your new base of reference. Another issue is that the new content appears to be dissing a DM and, as many contributors here are themselves DMs, they may not have been inclined to contribute. If you want to continue posting here, what you might do is start a new post in the normal way but then copy that content, go up to your OP (opening post of the "how would.." thread, and edit it so as to insert your new thread topic content above previous topic contents. Something like this may make it easier for other contributors to follow what you're saying/asking. Anyway, here, again, is your last major post (with my emboldenings and [additions]): (Whether this is from one of the GMs you know or whether it's your own creation wouldn't matter). I guess you're asking for confirmation on the ways in which the idea in question fits in the descriptor "worst" that you applied. If the party is starting at a low level, if the paladin joining them is at a high level or "best" in some other way, then that character would likely not feel relatively challenged by various of the DMs scenarios so I doubt it would be fun for them either. We don't know that. If "people shouldn't be judged by the things they did in their prior life/lives" then that would be great for anyone who believes in a heaven. We all get in. It really sounds to me like you are coming up with this scenario yourself because you end saying: " I'll bet you whatever you want that both The Pc an[d]s [t]he main villain will be judged by the [thin]gs they did in their prior life/lives" thus contradicting your we all know statement which I'm guessing you added as an attempted gotcha. Yeah, if the reincarnated paladin had the likes of the recollections of atrocities and the disposition to continue doing likewise, I agree that they'd likely be judged. But I don't think that the general premise is bad. Handled by a DM like Matthew Mercer and with an ~infiltrator played with the skill of Erika Ishii, scenarios where a one-party member has a different from the rest agenda can work really well. On British TV [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMNVQuNqmqc']Traitors[/URL] took a directly confrontational take on this. We've all played wink murder. I really can't judge if the idea is bad.
