[QUOTE="TillForPie, post: 6353920, member: 6762758"] Even if you interpreted the rules differently I'd appreciate you letting me know rather than assuming I would have just had him say aloud what was meant as his inner monologue. I never enjoyed the debates that D&D paladins spawned and I'm really not looking forward to getting into one here. Suffice it to say that I disagree. I'm probably not going to be interested in continuing to play a paladin if simply using the detect-evil move that is a basic part of the paladin class is something that will attract "divine disapproval." I could provide longer arguments based on the various quest vows being exceptions that prove the rule but I'd rather avoid it, and it's not so much a disagreement about rules as it is a discomfort with the player vs DM as opposition relationship I think's been developing ever since I first described Tristan. I got the sense that you were thinking "Oh, he wants to play a [i]paladin[/i], we know how those ruin games," and now you're saddling me with restrictions not mentioned in the rules or in my description of Tristan's goddess in order for there to be a cost to playing such a character. I don't think there's anything wrong with how Tristan's been behaving during his time in the game, including the use of his detect evil move. I'm sorry your day isn't going so well, I know this isn't going to do it much better. Hopefully it improves. [/QUOTE]
