Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eloi" data-source="post: 2644160" data-attributes="member: 27826">If the Paladin character begins to act in a contrary manner to the path which grants his Paladin status, the Gamesmaster has imaginative flexibility as to how to handle the situation.How to express to the character that, if they keep acting like this, they will lose their paladinhood? Perhaps a series of disturbing dreams. Perhaps a demon will approach the Paladin, express that he's been keeping an eye on the Paladin, and ask if he's ready to walk on the wild side.The answer to the question "Is there any rule that states how Gods decide when and how to strip their Paladins of their powers" has a general answer, based on common sense: when the Paladin is way out of line. Looking for a Rule as written - looking in the spell description for Atonement might guide you.Does the GM have final say? Yes.If the Deity in question is the God of Children and the Time of Innocence, with the minor sub-stipulation that Tapioca pudding is a forbidden substance for a Paladin to knowingly ingest.. and it comes to pass that a Paladin of this God is found shovelling Tapioca pudding into his mouth using the severed left hand of a five-year-old as a spoon, while the maimed five-year-old screams uncomprehendingly nearby.. that Paladin is in trouble.What form the trouble takes? Ask the GM.Could you, at a guess, say that we're looking at a loss-of-Paladin, class-stripping situation, based solely on the information we have at hand? Sure looks that way to me - might even be the step just before the Bolt from the Blue vaporizes the ex-Paladin.Who knows for sure? The GM.</blockquote>
