[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1333350, member: 9037"] I tried to tell him this because when the game started I was the only good character I spent close to eight months real world time trying to make this character work with the party and in the end gave up. I know that he thought a paladin would help and was disappointed when I changed characters leaving him the only good character. I think their are several problems here one is we play in Kalamar I love the setting but it has a lot of gray areas like legal slavery an evil but legitimate ruler. It's not an easy world to play a paladin in. Secondly our main DM may be a problem too, when he plays PCs in games they are all neutral guys who will do anything I am not sure he understands lawful or good. I think he may have contributed to the amoral party because nothing bad ever happens to the PCs who behave like this. It seems only good characters get punished in this game. Before we statred the Kalamar game we had been playing a long running home brew with a DM who is usually a player now but is running us through the little plane hopping vacation to the abyss. I think he has good grasp on good and evil and law and chaos in his games there were rewards for being a good character people wanted to work with you they offered help you were given respect. An evil or amoral character would not have gotten as far. It is not like this in the campaign now. So to answer the question I posted I think a paladin can work in a party if the party is made up of mostly good character and if the DM understands paladins and if the world is not full of gray areas. And the player does not play him as such stiff necked bully. [/QUOTE]
