[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 88961, member: 275"] [b]The pally's toast[/b] I can see the merit of giving the player a warning before stripping his powers, and also of doing it immediately. I weigh in on the immediately side, because he committed several sins against his code, within a short space of time, and did it willfully, knowing that his actions were proscribed not only by his code, but also by the direct orders of the Baron. Don't even wait until he needs one of his powers - tell the player that the character suddenly feels the warm, bright embrace of his deity removed from him - like a warm blanket ripped from you while outdoors on a cold night, only far more intense, as it is a spiritual moment - and his conscience should cry out to heaven, but be not heard until he has atoned. (As background: I do not play my paladin as 'lawful stupid' - while I hold to my code, I can think of one instance where I did not volunteer information about a sword we had recovered, justifying it because it was explicitly stated before we set out that anything we found in the catacombs we visited could be used by us. However, if I had been questioned about it specifically, I would have immediately answered truthfully. Other than that instance, I don't think I've ever even come close to the border - although I'd be interested to know if my DM thought the same (Wulf, are you reading?). ) [/QUOTE]
