[QUOTE="genshou, post: 2606992, member: 13164"] Pledge of Tyranny relies heavily on NPC villains of (sometimes much) higher level than the PC. Generally my player can tell the difference using his [I]detect evil[/I] paladin ability, because all the BBEG's in the campaign have a template that makes them detect as twice as powerful as they really are. So when he senses that the foe is so overwhelmingly beyond him that it's time to pull a greataxe on the DM, he knows it's actually one of the Ritual-Bonded and is better able to gauge whether or not he needs to run away. Usually, though, I provide alternatives to fighting or fleeing (either of which he's not likely to survive), including capture or some sort of exchange in order to keep himself alive. Of course, then the question of whether or not he can make an exchange with a Banite that doesn't violate his paladin code makes for some interesting rp wrenches... :] So, in short, (a, 1) is the best way to describe this situation in my game.
