[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 2254213, member: 545"] There are a lot of ways you can handle this in character. You [i]must[/i] keep a good sense of humor about it -- it is nothing personal, while also really sticking to whatever plan you come up with. There is nothing wrong with a Paladin admonishing cowards in public, hiring bards, etc. As long as you are telling the absolute truth as your Paladin sees it. There is [i]nothing[/i] in the Paladin Code that prevents your PC from following the coward's lead as long as no innocents are in immediate danger. When he fights, you fight. When he hangs back and fires arrows, you hang back. When he flees, you flee. It will get the other PCs attention right quick. And it will be hilarious. "Clearly you believe you are in great personal danger. I have decided to stand by your side...as your protector. Right next to you. Where you go, I go. Into battle or away from battle." [/QUOTE]
