In Greg K's situation, the character purposefully made the choice to ignore the vision from his deity, while still requesting divine power from the same deity, and so lost his powers.The deity decided to admonish his insolence.Are you also saying that the players would not be able to see through the "thin veil" hiding DM judgement by having the Dracolich attack the paladin so overtly? Worse still, they might even think, wow, you're actually playing soft - cause you could have killed the shaman but decided to spare him to go after an ineffectual combatant.</blockquote>
