Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 6391179" data-attributes="member: 6669384">Regarding the Ranger:  It seems as if his character was built using the Magic Pencil of Anything and the Decanter of Endless BS.  (TM)My recommendation?  Next time he tries it, calmly ask, "Could you go over where all those attacks and damage come from?  It seems like an awful lot from a 1D8 weapon.  "Regarding the Paladin:  To me this appears to be an all-too-common visual impairment called, "Selective Reading", where people only see the parts of the rules they want to see, and calls for a revocation of his Creative License.My recommendation?  Remind the player that about 1/4 to 1/3 of the population is Evil and that "Suspicion of being a Jerk" doesn't rate a death penalty in any known society.  In short, killing people because they have a bad attitude is murder, and will cost him his Paladin status as soon as his behavior is established enough to warrant an alignment change away from Lawful.  It can also get his character arrested and executed.Yeah, funny thing.  Even in a D&D fantasy world, murder is against the law.ARegarding the conflict between the Paladin and the Evil PC:  Paladin code says specifically that they can't "knowingly associate with evil characters, nor will she continue to associate with someone who consistently offends her moral code."  That means that they can't both be in the same party.As a DM I'm soft on this point, particularly if the Paladin makes an effort to reform the evil character.  In the end though, the condition can't continue.  Either the Paladin has to go or the evil PC does. And as it's the Paladin's problem, and the Paladin actually has no way to force the other PC from the party short of murder... One way to do it without it being murder would be to interrupt the evil one in the middle of some evil act, some predatory move against innocents.  Get them arrested,or step in and defend said innocents, by force if necessary.I somehow doubt that your Paladin player will have the patience to wait for such an opportunity.</blockquote>
