[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 7814185, member: 57914"] It all depends doesn't it? If you are a normal person on the street and you hear gunfire and people screaming, I am not going to hold it against you for not running in. If you signed on the dotted line and trained and took an oath and made money off being the guy who runs in when you hear gunshots.....then yes. Yes I will hold it against you when you do not do the unbelievable brave and heroic thing and run towards the gunshots. When you do the very human thing of getting scared and hiding and letting other people face whatever dangers happen because you were too scared I will indeed hold it against you. I will understand, I will not hate you for it BUT...I will do everything I can to make sure you never let anyone else down like that again. Being a Paladin of a good God is a lot like being signing on that dotted line. You are saying"Aid me Gods,because I hear battle and am charging in no matter what!" That's why you have power from the Gods. Now in the context of the game I do agree that the DM and player need to talk. I would try and talk BEFORE the action is done. A simply"Do you hand him over tot he dragon and go against every last instinct trained into you and every last code of your order?". I mean the player is playing a game. Not living his life by a code. Give him a heads up. [/QUOTE]
