[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 1564922, member: 94"] I think your DM ought to be stripped of his powers for trying to entrap you, especially in such an uncreative and blatant way. If you ask me, the DM ambushed [i]you[/i]. Lots of DMs view the paladin as a outlet for their own B.S. morality plays: "How could you slaughter those goblin women and children? You should have tried to redeem them!" Paladins aren't meant to be played in shades of grey. They live in a black and white world. If it's more important to you to play a paladin than to play with this DM, I think you need to find a game with fewer shades of grey. Otherwise, trying to play a paladin is just asking to be constantly jerked around. Then again, I also think most paladin players are munchkins, and occasionally they need to be taught a lesson-- admittedly, only in my own experience, only my opinion. My instinct tells me that either your DM doesn't like you, or he doesn't like paladins. He set that clumsy trap for you for a reason. Either he doesn't want you to be a paladin, or he wants to frustrate you to the point that you leave. Just my gut feeling on this one. Wulf [/QUOTE]
