Message: <blockquote data-quote="reapersaurus" data-source="post: 371659" data-attributes="member: 1194">Just wanted to throw my support firmly in the Paladin player's court.It is fairly obvious to me from what you've said (of course, we haven't heard from your DM, so this IS one-sided) that basically:  You know how to play a Paladin PC and he doesn't.I'll tell you, from being a freak for Paladin threads on these boards for a long time, I'll tell you this:  MANY people just don't understand Paladins.They can not wrap their minds around the concept of a character that is not looking out primarily for themselves, or what they can get out of a situation.And a critical point: the DM WAS Metagaming when he said you would die.Actually, what I would have been pissed about as a player is that some nameless, faceless NPC sets us up and convinces the King that we're bad (and should be Killed?! WTF?!). Meanwhile, the fact that you're playing a PALADIN is kind of overlooked.In my eyes, the one PC that's fairly immune to these kinds of plots is the Paladin.The DM shouldn't be using those ham-handed plots with a paladin in the group.Question - did you ever have the "Paladin Talk" with this DM?The more I read, the more I feel it key that the player and the DM are closely agreed on the way a Paladin can affect a game (and therefore a story).Solution, before I ramble much more: You should talk, Out-of-Game, with this DM, in a very non-confrontational, advisory way. You are asking his advice, not the other way around.Once you understand his approach, feelings, and possible biases about paladins, then you can both work toward finding a middle ground for this particular campaign.Remember, you are not changing your whole approach to playing a paladin - you are perhaps having to modify the way you play this particular paladin, in this particular game.</blockquote>
