[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3549921, member: 36349"] [b]Reg: Paladins[/b] If the player openly declared they were trying to subdue the target and not kill them it doesn't matter how much damage they've inflicted critical means they've knocked the target out cold not killed them. No offence but the only way the dm can pull that one is if they're intentionally trying to make that paladin fall and if thats the case no argument can prevent it. Is there anything else you can tell us about what happened? Did the target already suffer from damage which left them at 1hp or thereabouts? Did the paladin use their greatsword instead of a simple punch? (In the Gamers a trio of adventurers tried to knock their mage comrade out cold but the rogue and the elf failed leaving it to the barbarian who critically hit them mking him take 19 pts of damage from a punch so if you do manage to watch and I do recommend it take heart that this has happened before!)
