In essence, you have one player using the Book of Exalted Deeds and it would seem no one else - are other players utilizing this book? This makes for really awkward roleplaying with one player having their character consistently judged by the other players and DM with the usual reaction of not living up to the expectations.Having played an Exalted Paladin for several years when that book was released, my advice would be to cancel use of the book unless the entire party are exalted - an exalted campaign. Otherwise too many headaches as you are finding. A single exalted character ends up monopolizing the DM's time, other player's attention as well as the general spotlight. Better to nip this in the bud.I think perhaps the best thing you can do as a DM in your position is to foster party unity. Part of this will be encouraging the Paladin's player to be very mindful of their effect on the other players and the direction of the module and campaign and to ensure they are supporting the party, rather than dominating it.I think others have outlined the other thing you need to do - agree on a code, making it as simple as possible as well as being roughly in line with the expectations of the other players, yours and the paladin's player.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
