[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1331598, member: 9037"] I want to make some things clear the paldain that I dominated has been through hell and (the abyss) :) He has been broken by the demons he is bad shape they forced him into raping an elf who was traveling with him who now has killed herself. He is barely hanging onto to his sanity. My character also traveled with him but we became seperated. I met the the other PCs when we escaped our cells less than a few hours ago. My character is not good not by a long shot most of her spells come from the school of necromancy. Dominating the paladin in her eyes was the best way to stop him without hurting him she does like this paldian. When the party paladin demanded she release the other paladian she tried to explain and told him she would hvae to take more drastic measures if he attacked again and the party paladian threatened her if she did. He didn't offer to take responsibility for his friend. I did offer to remove the domination once we had found someplace safe to hide he refused to move until I did it. My character got pissy and refused to remove the domination. We are in the middle of the cells an alarm is going off and one demon ran from us to get reinforcments. The rest of the party left so now it is the paladian and me about to role initiative to attack each other. The DM called it a night because it was getting late. I have talked to the DM and the other player and we have come up with a way to stop it I will ask the paladian to swear to control his friend he will agree and I will release the domination and most likely he will have to knock out his friend. This all got me thinking where do you draw the line why is the paladian of light and goodness okay with me dominating evil guards and forcing them to fight their masters and maybe die but it is so wrong to stop a a severly out of control good guy who can endanger the entire party as well as himself. I suppose it is better to knock him in the head and put him out? I think personally that it can be evil that is how I played it before. I also have issues with charm person taking someone's free will from them is never a good act though how bad it becomes depends on what you force them to do. I also realize that I made a mistake bringing this character into the game the player who plays the paladian can have knee jerk reactions and can be as stubborn as I can be over role playing and staying true to your character. These two characters will be at each other throats again it is just a matter of time. The player did say to me that I need to fall into line and accept his character's orders or he would start to see me as a liability and have to do something about it. [/QUOTE]
