[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7822764, member: 23751"] You keep saying that, but lawful stupid was selected at character creation. The situation the DM came up with did not require lawful stupid, lawful stupid is what the character is and the player is responsible for his own stupid choices. 3. The player could have made a smart choice and not selected lawful stupid at character creation. 4. The player can realize that he made a dumb choice at character creation and alter his lawful stupid alignment and make it LG. Nyet! Players come to me with ideas that will be rough to play all the time. I give them a warning at character creation and if they go forward anyway, their difficulties are on them. If a player chooses lawful stupid, I'm going to let him know that it isn't required for him to play paladins stupidly and then let him choose his path from there. I will not alter the game world to account for bad choices, though. [/QUOTE]
