He is worried that the PCs have decided they can act evil with impunity. Pointing out that they are evil, and their classes should reflect that establishes that this is not the type of thing that can be done with impunity.Having a paladin who has turned to evil get converted to being a paladin of slaughter is an entirely natural consequence. And I should have said a 9th level group of NPCs, because 4 5th level PCs are an EL appropriate challenge for the 9th level PCs (i.e. 4 CR 5 creatures are an EL 9 encounter). If the PCs decide to behave like villains, they get reacted to as villains - and probably slaughtered by good heroes.Rougerouge's suggestion only clouds the issue. The PCs have turned to evil by committing multiple evil acts. Converting the paladin to a CG aligned class simply obscures this fact. If the PCs want to play evil characters, then they should actually play evil-aligned classes. In other words, the DM should simply call a fork a fork. And then they have to live with the attendant consequences such a choice brings.</blockquote>
