Message: <blockquote data-quote="andrew" data-source="post: 88845" data-attributes="member: 2589">I have no question in my mind as to whether or not the paladin broke his code. He commited several acts of chaotic and selfish behaviour. At least it is a series of minor offenses, at worst it is a pattern of depravity.We use a fairly generic paladin's code based on the PH. Additionally, all paladins are ordained members of the clergy and are associated with some sect of the church.I have not yet had a chance to talk with the player about it. I wasn't 100% sure if it would work out better if I left the problem to resolve itself entirely in game. When I do get to talk to him, it will be extremely helpful to have some other DMs advice on the subject, which is why I'm asking here.I'd like to think the player isn't a newbie. He's been playing for 2 1/2 years with me now and has had this paladin for one year. This is the first time he has done anything that's raised a question in my mind. Quickbeam may be correct and the player just doesn't care.The PC will face some kind of repurcussions for these acts, I'm just not sure how swift or severe it should be. In any case, the powers will be restored through atonement. Below are the options I was considering. I'd appreciated feedback or suggestions on these:-immediate loss of all powers, atonement necessary-gradual loss of powers, atonement necessary-loss of a few key powers, atonement necessary-priest (or vision) reminds PC that he has strayed from the path after losing one or two powers, atonement necessary-priest (or vision) reminds PC that he has strayed from the path before losing his powers, no atonement necessary-loss of powers, but only has to confess and make good on his misdeeds, no atonement necessaryThanks again.</blockquote>
