[QUOTE="PoppaGunch, post: 1566223, member: 14540"] As a player I would have dragged the bad guy out of the tavern into the street by his hair, thrown him to the ground, and made him confess to his crimes in front of everyone in the street. Then I would have made him beg the gods to forgive him for his horrible transgression, and make him say he will atone. If he went along with it, I would then ask the crowd what they thought? I would let them judge him. The idea is, if he had done good stuff in the town other than what he was doing, he might be redeemable. But usually when people do screwed up crap like he was doing, they are also B***ards. So the townspeople would most likely say to the pit with him, or somesuch thing. Hopefully he would fight back though, cause then I could dispense righteous justice. Combat before my god and all that. If I were wrong I would lose the combat, and he would be vindicated. Now if I were the DM here, I would not strip his powers right off the bat, but I would have his god warn him in some way that he was screwing up. Like his healing abilities wouldn't work correctly, or once I had a paladin detect evil in front of him all the time, and he discovered it was his hands that were evil, because he had tainted them. He got the hint. ;) [/QUOTE]
