D&D 5E Player vs Player Philter of Love

what can your do?
But, as for 3.5e whenever paladins had hard time, usually it was their fault.

3.5 Paladin had a hard time because the class sucked (outside of spellcasting). It was a dip-class for Divine grace. That's it.

Honestly, it was not a problem of class power, it was a problem of roleplaying LG with a mixed bag group.

that is true. but you needed to have trucks of wisdom to make spellcasting work as paladin.
You were better of taking bonus feats with ACF from various splats.
And charging smite instead of special mount.

that was what I was aiming with my comment

For a Holy Warrior were better off taking 2 levels in Fighter (or Crusader which is even better) and the rest in Cleric. Or even just all the levels in Cleric.

Plus you get to ignore all the 'lose your class features at the DMs whim' stuff.

I was just saying if someone wants to play pure paladin and cant have lots of wisdom.

PF1, did better for paladin, and spells were based of charisma.

I would think that the drow in the OP would have no problems with killing the assassin once she found out that she was drugged and taken advantage of. Sounds like, "That's what my character would do." defense. But the problem of you as a player being fine with another player proceeding with it in the first place now means that you two find a better way of dealing with it. Maybe your PC liked the assassin, but could not let on without looking weak to the 'male', or something. Perhaps finding a time warp spell to erase it, maybe forced marriage.

So a funny thing happened in one of my games.

I say good on you and the rest of your group for being able to role-play that level of PC dysfunction while still having fun with it. You sound like a great group of players.

Normally I am not a fan of Player Vs Player but this has been pretty funny to play out and she really had it coming.

Mod Note:
"...she had it coming?"

What happened in this game is not significantly different from a woman being drugged at a party and taken to a room while unable to consent to sex. The idea that she "had it coming" is horrible, sexist apology for rape. It is abhorrent.

Honestly, I see a lot of negative outcry here but have any of you considered that maybe it's covered by their table rules

In a world in which women are roofied and raped, and men say, "They had it coming," whether it is by the table rules or not is irrelevant.

Making excuses for this kind of thing makes women feel like the men here are unsafe to be around. If you want rape in your games, this board is not the place to discuss it.
