Plenty of players quickly became DMs after being in a game with a poor DM. There is at least one upside: it's a learning experience, and you've learned some of what you need to not do.Since you're taking over from another DM, there might be a need to fix a few issues. You said the group is being split, but presumably the paladin and evil character are in the same group. Please consider putting them into separate groups. It's generally a bad idea to allow mixed alignments in a group, especially with a paladin, as it causes negative roleplaying issues (eg a paladin turning into "Sir Killbot", an evil PC challenging the paladin by openly committing evil acts in front of them, etc).The paladin code is a can of worms, unfortunately, and of course controversial. It's vague and written in poetic, non-gaming language, and due to alignment association and other aspects it doesn't just affect the paladin's behavior, but those of other PCs at the table. I don't think there's anything in the code that prevents a paladin from summarily executing an evildoer. With the proposed law, the paladin could still beat the evil PC unconscious and take them to the authorities.I tend to look at the "principled" alignment in this link for a better lawful good code. Your mileage may vary.

Email is a good way to send the scan to you. If they refuse, disinvite them. It sucks when a good friend is a bad gamer, but it happens. Please feel free to ask us about any math issues with that character.</blockquote>
