[QUOTE="DaemonBolo, post: 371758, member: 7568"] I agree that he probably had little choice in wanting to appear before court. However, it also sounds as if he had cause to believe that warrant to be unlawful. This sounds like a major dilemma for a Paladin. In any event, if the GM thought that the PC may get killed should he follow a certain path, then I see how this could cause problems. Getting killed in a fight may one thing, but killed just for walking into the arms of the law is another. The GM could have been afraid of making the Paladin mad by arbitrary action. Of course, I love to stick up for the little guy and the GM obviously had had no say in the matter. It could be helpful if you asked him to post a reply. If you have talked to him since your last post, then I would be interested to see how it turned out. I still think it a good idea to write out your code for the GM. Just make sure to let him know your exact beliefs. If he has a problem with it, then you can work it out in a genial manner. I think you both have communication issues. As I said before, dealing with it in character by having the Paladin object could be useful, or just write a note to the GM and say that you feel that something wrong is happening. That way it does not have to wait for you to get mad, nor do you have to do it in front of everyone. Obviously, I identify with both people. I think both people have room to improve. The GM should not make you feel as if you cannot play your PC, but you should make sure to let him know of any problems. I cannot say enough that you should support him and vice versa. He may be insulting the party because they are be combative. If he feels that it is him versus the players, then he will be automatically on the defensive. If that is the case, then you should support him and make him feel as if you are all roleplaying together, rather than a war between two opposing factions. or he just may not know he is doing it. Personally, I had a great GM quit because her players always made her feel as if she was at war with them rather than having fun as a group. A game should be fun for all, including the GM. I think that talking with him and making an effort to support him could go a long way to clearing up these problems you've had. Bolo's forever! [/QUOTE]
