[QUOTE="kroh, post: 3357124, member: 16768"] WOW...All I can say is ...WOW... Ok...Paladins have been an integral part of the game since very early on. That being said, there have been many examples on this board of people who are serious gamers who have successfully played this class and had fond memories of doing so. This Larry... Is a person who is mentally unstable and SHOULD NOT be a minister over anyone. His attitude shows that he has much in common with those people who bomb abortion clinics and fly planes into buildings because they think it is the holy thing to do. This is a zealous fanatical attitude and it is dangerous. The only thing you can do with such people is try to be respectful to them (as long as they are not antagonistic or hostile to you) and hope they will come around. From the looks of things... this person should be on a local law enforcement watch list. AS far as him being in your game, anyone who starts trying to ward off evil FOR REAL at your doorstep is clearly divorced from reality. Some of the best gamers I have had the pleasure of gaming with have always been well grounded people who simply wanted an outlet for an active imagination. The type that you are describing ruins the game for everyone. Pulling him aside might help but would probably be detrimental as he sees himself as "righteous" and above you talking to him. It sounds like apart from coming to the game table that this person is an acquaintance (or a close facsimile there of). The most you can hope for is that he sees how uncomfy he is making everyone and tone it down. As for the post on the paizo board... People who usually quote scripture to show some superiority or to affirm themselves USUALLY do not understand or take out of context what they are saying/writing. I can quote Shakespeare but it doesn't mean that I understand any of it. And when these nuts try to ruin your game night by spouting out... Tell them that even the devil can spew holiness when he needs to. [/QUOTE]
