[QUOTE="Mort, post: 5668569, member: 762"] Actually I would say this is definitely an overreaction. Your intent was to inject animosity - well that certainly happened. The SS response may have been disproportionate to the paladin's action, but he's evil, and in this case was obviously going for "cool factor" (what with the sitting back down to eat lunch bit and all). To me, from the short amount presented, the response was not at all surprising. You're DMing an evil group of characters, evil actions are going to be the norm, you can't really be surprised, or even worse, angered by them! The only real issue (for me) is that the SS did this in a very public place and thus my call for consequences. Now, maybe he should just roll an intimidate check, if high enough everyone is too scared to talk and he gets away with it. If not high enough, someone (or everyone) will blab. And now the SS will have a bunch of bloodthirsty killers after him (let's face it, most paladins are bloodthirsty killers - they just happen to be "bloodthirsty killers for justice"). Regardless, the consequences must be appropriate. Having and anvil fall on the SS's head for being "evil", especially in an "evil" campaign, is completely out of line. [/QUOTE]
