Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torm" data-source="post: 2718008" data-attributes="member: 12706">I think that a player who willfully causes his Paladin to do something that is Evil or directly against the code should see his or her character stripped of all their Paladin abilities. I don't know that I've ever understood the whole d10 thing, though. I don't see how taking their Paladinhood from them should suddenly reduce them in aspects that don't have anything to do with divine favor, but instead come from physical training - like BAB or HP. Unless they did something really bad and the DM also thinks their deity would have cursed them, as well - in which case, that should probably be described that way.Most of the time, though, we're not talking about willful violation. We're talking about a player's haste or misunderstanding, or possibly an interesting character concept, that leads them to a questionable action. In which case, a DM should have the power (as Rule 0 implies) to have their deity restrict them from a particular power, curse them in some minor way, or force them to wear a little pink dress to maintain their powers - whatever seems appropriate to the story the DM and his players are building together.So I voted for piecemeal removal as the option closest to my overall view.So speaks Torm, God of Paladins. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
