[QUOTE="TheGM, post: 2468345, member: 34054"] I have allowed it exactly once, after many warnings to the character who was clearly going to die from it that they needed to knock it off. I'm not certain that even with a good, story-driven reason I would ever allow it again. I do not allow evil PCs, and I frown upon CN - which is "do whatever I want" alignment IMO. A low-level paladin run by a player that had never run one in any of my games came to life accusing all sorts of powerful people of all sorts of things (her mother was killed while working with other powerful characters, the child came into the game pointing fingers at these PCs). Because of who her mother was, she knew whom the powerful were, and knew many of them personally. She caused ruckus that she lost her paladinhood, but still didn't shut up, accusing legal rulers of being murderers and usurpers, calling a trial that she demanded trying to condemn a high-level Paladin a "monkey court" when it didn't rule her way, on and on. Finally, said high-level paladin declared "You have crossed the line. Prove your accusations on the field of honor. Combat to first blood." True to the rash actions of the character from day one, she replied "No, the fight will be to the grave." So I allowed it, though it pained me. Needless to say, the 15th level paladin wiped the floor with the 4th level paladin. At the end she held her final blow and said "yield and this can be over", and the 4th level paladin (fighter at this point) replied "No. Do it if you have any honor". She did. With a crit. The high-level group was not thrilled with the high-level paladin, she still takes garbage for it. The character is semi-retired over it. Didn't turn out well for anyone. [/QUOTE]
