Rash reactions don't sound like it is a wise way for a paladin to proceed.Well paladins cast spells...so he can't be totally ignorant. At best you could argue that the paladin decided on a sentence without knowing the facts. Doesn't strike me as Lawful or Good.I don't see the point where the paladin was threatened. His prisoner smiled and she got the business end of his sword for it.No better way to educate than have the deity remind the paladin why he has those abilities in the first place. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind (as the saying goes).I'm not clear on how this relates to the topic. Seriously, I just can't figure it out (don't read this as a slight).How does this make a paladin unplayable? The player could have knocked the prisoner out and would be okay. Though he may want to apologize to the prisoner when he learns she didn't actually cause his friends to act strangely.The thread mentions one incident and it doesn't even sound like the DM crafted it. It sounds to me like this was all done by the players actions. Lancelot, by the way, fell from grace. Later, he atoned by helping Arthur in his final battle. I'm not altogether convinced Lancelot was a paladin in the first place though. Now Galahad was certainly a paladin.Combat-centric does not equate to kill first and ask questions later no matter what the situation is. Who is capable of judging who and who is not insane. Maybe we're all the insane ones and the people we have committed to hospitals have the true insight.</blockquote>
