[QUOTE="BBiggar, post: 2897019, member: 14837"] >>Whether you realize it or not, this is a hot topic and many will view it as a troll<< Yikes! No I had no idea and believe me that was not my intention, I just was seeking opinions. I want to be the kind of DM that my buds like to have run a game. That being said i think that if players don't behave in a manner that reflects the type of character they are playing, then there should be consequences. Playing a Paladin should be (IMO of course) one ofthe most difficult classes, simply because of the inherent restaint that must be displayed. The player in question is a good player, but he always plays the rogue, and he always plays his rogue as a "twisted" type that had a horrible life that lead to his current lack of real morals. So when he elected to play Paladin I was shocked, but happy that he was branching out. I should also add that the loss of his abilities didn't effect him really, because he fouund a temple and prayed to his diety and they came to an understanding about his behavior. That being said I take to heart the comments from above and I see where you are coming from and I plan on sitting down with the group and discussing it. I have a perception in my head of proper behavior, but, I do not want to be perceived as closed-mined on the issue, so I will talk to my playeers about it. Thanks for the input, and again sorry if it seemed like a troll, that was the furthest thing from my mind when I posted the question. [/QUOTE]
