If the dragon had tried a different tack how would the paladin respond? Dragon: (Bluff) “ Leave this one in my care I will get him to safety.” Paladin:?

Go right. To the left are snakes.

Too true! In fact I know exactly who you are referring to without having to research. Lol. We also engage in gentle ribbing Lowkey13 is a good sport. Even when we bring up dual rapier wielding gnome paladins.

It depends. Did you meet the child at the Overlook hotel? Is it even a child?

A) Fear is what you are feeling. The whims of the DM? They can do a lot. You make them sound like subjects in someone else’s kingdom. B) rhetoric: The DM caused you to roll that save. The DM decided, the dice are consultants. C) The frightened condition is a condition that is imposed to create...

Save vs. Fear (Wisdom DC : 13) See how easy that was?

TBH I’m a bit surprised that paladin and alignment discussions aren’t verboten. Along the lines of politics and religion lol. Moderators, Please don’t do that to us!

Manage expectations. I hope you give us an update. What you and the player do from here may give us insight for when we find ourselves similarly confounded.

Have you considered a limit of X number of spell levels can be concentrated on? ( based on caster level or ability bonus ) I wish it was easier to break concentration. ( in game ) irl you couldn’t keep concentration if I so much as shot you in the face with a rubber band.

Well to be fair Batman is a criminal vigilante and he wasn’t given a choice between save yourself or save one guy (or die trying). He was given a choice of which one, of two other people, to save. This paladin would be more aptly compared to the people on the boats. Except instead of refusing...

Fwiw the paladin succeeded at negotiating for one roll. I would have kept going. I could make it worse but I could make it better. If the paladin had encountered a weaker threat would he have attacked? Would he stop attacking if the enemy did not go down on the first swing? He already had...

People keep claiming that the paladin would be committing suicide. Suicide by dragon might be a thing in a D&D world. For it to be suicide the paladin would have to select it for the express purpose of being killed. A suicide mission on the other hand implies an objective with higher...

Hussar, Earlier you implied that the player would be metagaming if they assumed the DM would bail them out. Would the player be metagaming if they thought the paladin believed their god would bail them out? It could just as easily be that the player thought the paladin didn’t have faith and...

Maybe, or perhaps elegant and understandable. If it is not useful discard it.

I somewhat agree with Doug McCrae But i would break it down like this. Greyhawk = Shades of grey or N vs. E Forgotten Realms = G vs. E Mystara = Law vs. Chaos Dragonlance = Epic G vs. E Birthright = Risk, diplomacy and D&D Spelljammer = D&D in space Planescape = Planehopping D&D Dark Sun =...

Since it was largely untouched for the last three decades the last time it was played it was, what we today would call Nightmare mode. Hit points were low first level casters probably had one spell. So you could amp the difficulty and run the whole setting like that. Mwahhahaha!

It was in the basic setting.(Red box) Then the Expert (Blue Box) It has the map I like the most. Because it has scale and is all on one page. (Until the Isle of Dread)I also really, really like black and white art. IIRC most interior art was Clyde Ellis and Larry Elmore.

Alternatively they do understand and have such a grievance but do not feel the need to give it air.

I didn’t mean to imply that your bias invalidated your argument. Only that your argument formed from that bias served to group people by race not culture. Or specifically leading away from the point. I thought the nit picking that I did was relevant to my statement. The people mainly cited were...

Almost made me say it.
