[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 4162122, member: 6957"] Paladin's powers go 'bye bye'. If they are caught then have them tried and sentenced. If found guilty, which they most likely will, then have them hanged. Tell them about the merchants selling rotten vegetables to throw at them while they slowly strangle. Let them die, covered in stinking vegetables. Let them know that getting hit with a cabbage while they slowly swing side to side still [i]hurts.[/i] Have the Paladin wake up in the Abyss being tortured for his sins. This may get the point across. Let the torturing demon tell the ex-paladin that his god handed him over personally for his actions. 'Not often we get one of [i]your[/i] kind around here, but always worth it when we do. 'Course Bubba here doesn't like the look of your face. That's why he's got the knives'. Seems pretty straight forward to me.... And no, I am not joking much here. Maybe expanding on the theme for hyperbolic effect, but not joking. Actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences result in a TPK. I once had a party hanged for killing an orc - when the local baron had a peace treaty to maintain. I told them about the orc widow and orphans... and how willing the baron was to let this band of strangers die to show that he honored the treaty. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
