Message: <blockquote data-quote="hopeless" data-source="post: 3111432" data-attributes="member: 36349">The Orc is Evil.Any more than the mercenaries they had caught before and released once they had questioned the survivors?They didn't say whether the Paladin had scanned them to see if they were lying yet from what was said I had to assume they weren't orcs so was it a racial issue rather than the fact they registered as evil even though both were raiding and pillaging those communities and caravans?hopeless: I read through your story, and I'm not sure if there's a question in there or what issues you're trying to address.I couldn't understand why the Paladin's player was behaving like he was, he has been spiteful on occasion and on one occasion this was to a new player who certainly didn't know the system and I admit to feeling guilty that all I did at that time was call a mutual friend to have a word with him since I was worried at his reaction.When he ran his game he made sure people knew not to use info their character's didn't and I had been penalised a number of times when I blurted something out by mistake. His deliberate uses of this and the dm ignoring the fact he was doing so I had at the time thought was simply due to the fact it was the first time he ran a D&D game at the club (he ran a Call of Cthulhu game prior to this and was quite good at that).The revelation about using 1st edition rules reminded me of the time I ran an Alternity game at the club and he promptly revealed after I checked their character sheets and found only the ones I generated was done properly and only one other player got within 5pts of what they had to spend. He claimed to be using an article from Dragon that allowed him to get points back by using his character background to explain them off, please note he never asked me beforehand and I was the one dming that game!In short, it sounds like you have a DM who likes to play favourites and a party who likes to look out only for themselves.I think he was returning the favour at first but then began making excuses for why the Paladin wasn't violating his code even though he wasn't charitable save for selling that magical sword to pay for a trip south and was annoyed when I tried to get through to him that he needed to atone for several acts of evil from my point of view that endangered the party fo no other reason than for him to glorify himself.</blockquote>
