Message: <blockquote data-quote="Riley37" data-source="post: 6599507" data-attributes="member: 6786839">You are curious and confused about why the DM of an AL game would take an interest in how exactly someone plays an LE Paladin PC? Um... are you an AL DM?I run a table which is (one tiny part of) the public face of D&D. A parent brought his 10-year-old son to the store, to watch our game, so that the 10-year-old could get a first-hand idea of what D&D is. If that 10-year-old's glimpse of D&D had started with a scene in which a PC paladin of Loviatar tortures an NPC for information... well, I'd hate to contribute to a negative misperception. So yeah, I want to be prepared, just in case a situation like that emerges. I want to have pondered the issues. And some people on EnWorld are helping me ponder.The Friendly Local Game Store (and indirectly WotC) are trusting me with the DM role. I aim to keep their trust. I don't let players use the F-word at the table, because the store doesn't like to hear that word used under their roof. I am also posting on the AL forum on a WotC site. I will see what they say there. I will be very surprised if the WotC people say "back off, man, it's not your business as DM to worry about how an LE Paladin of Loviatar influences the tone of the table". They have pointed out that Oathbreaker is NOT a valid option for AL; the player was planning to go Oathbreaker, and so I'm the bearer of the news of "sorry, can't do that in AL".Just as a point of order, are you a manager of the AL program? If not, then perhaps you are overstepping which boundaries are yours to keep, and which boundaries are theirs to keep.</blockquote>
