I think the paladin should kill the evil cleric immediately. IMHO, an evil cleric is like a demon or devil, and killing one under any circumstance is the duty of a paladin. An evil cleric gives POWER to an evil god. They are not evil in the same way anybody else might be evil. In a sense...

Holy moley!!! I totally SUBTRACT my earlier advice saying you might sit her down for a on-on-one. Come to think of it, when I did exactly THAT with a girlfriend once, the D&D experience for the girl was 100% awful. Ugg. :[ I think I lost 2 levels as a DM over that debacle. Listen to the...

Maybe consider generating a character with her and then do a short one-on-one adventure, just you and her. To get her feet wet before she jumps in the pool, so to speak. :] Tony

I pretty much agree with your two points here. But I still see the evil cleric dead on the floor in this thread's scenario. You said a paladin should worry about 'consequences' because of the contract they have with their god. As a general statement, I'd agree with that. However, when it...

That's a pretty cool scenario. It reminds me that a paladin often has to deal with evil beings on a case-by-case situation. (Heck, my paladin negotiated with a red dragon, once.) This is the way I see paladins: as a paladin, sometimes you try to convert evil people....sometimes you show them...

If my paladin had to emphasize one priority on your list--like you asked--it would be the first priority you mentioned. Although I would never say he was an "evil-killing MACHINE." "Machine" is a loaded word--it makes it sound like the paladin is bloodthirsty and has no personality. My...

I must side with the paladin on this one. (I ran a paladin through this module, too, btw.) As soon as the evil cleric in your scenario smiled, my paladin would've thought, "She's doing something magical and EVIL and we're all about to die!" and would've killed her. In some other dungeon, my...

There's been a change in Editor-in-Chief there, and the Editor-in-Chief is the one who reads those e-mails...so this may not be the best time for a comparison test. Maybe. I guess. Anyhow, hope that helps. :] Tony

I can understand why the Archer's player is annoyed with the situation. Maybe he could ask the DM to institute a new rule, at least for a while: "No attacking other PCs." I mean, if the other PCs want to beat-up a fellow adventurer and take his money...then they ought to jump the NPC that...

Well, speaking as a Player, if my DM hinted that designing challenging encounters was getting 'harder' because the PCs have too much magic, I'd wipe the cold sweat from my forehead and shout, "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! YOU ARE THE KING!!" In other words, I'd hope my DM would not do anything...

Last D&D session the DM surprised us--his players--with a pie. It was one of those tasty chocolate-pudding pies with whipped cream on top. On top of the pie the DM had poked-in a bunch of candles. ...they turned-out to be joke candles. They crackled and sparked and re-lit themselves after we...

I don't know anything about that Feat...but just the title of it sent a chill down my spine. BTW, my Fighter/Paladin's coolest feat is Whirlwind Attack...but he seldom gets to use it because every monster we run into is so frikkin BIG that no more than 'one' of them can fit into a room at the...

Re: BEWARE! ALIGNMENTS AND IDEAS CHANGE AS A CHARACTER GROWS Holy moley! :eek: If I was the Druid, I'd be casting BARKSKIN right about now... :] Thanks for posting, Druid and Psychic Warrior. Please keep posting to let us know how things develop! Tony M

That kind of pet NPC I like, Gunter. :] Tony M

I once had a DM with a painfully annoying pet NPC. This NPC would hang back during combats until everybody was a bloody wreck, THEN he would save our bacon. Did he ever help out 'before' our leaked blood stood two inches deep on the floor? Noooooo. The punk 'always' waited! Needless to say...

AEIII! Nooooo! The world can't start ending! I've only seen the new X-men movie ONCE! :] Tony

Re: Re: Re: If A Rogue Has The Ability To Use Any Magic Item... Nobody in our party carries a wand of CLW. Except the Cleric, I mean, who occasionally loots one from a body. So I guess we are 'obliging' the cleric to Heal our wounds. In our DM's campaign, our party doesn't get a whole lot...

The guy running the cleric in the group I'm gaming with pretty much said the same thing, saying that he wanted to DO more in the game than just heal our characters--which is pretty much all he had been doing for quite a while. So we made sure he got some good armor and magic weapons and...

Out-anti-meta-gamed! Haha, that is TOO funny. :] Tony M

There's a Player in the D&D group I'm playing with who believes roleplayers should ROLE-play. And he's a great roleplayer, I'm tellin' ya. For example, he speaks for his two characters using different voices, and will sometimes mime-out his characters' actions. And even HE meta-games a bit...
