Secondly, if you've created a situation where a character is no longer allowed to play in a game... you have exerted control over that character. You can play word games all you want, but that really is what it boils down to.You do realize in D&D that deities, alignment, etc. are tangible things. I can argue the sun is a shiny penny... doesn't change the fact that I am objectively wrong, it is not made out of copper and it does not have a picture of Abe Licoln stamped on it. Just as a paladin who serves Bahamut and takes an action that Bahamut disapproves of is objectively wrong... regardless of how he tries to justify it.Because 4e is the abberation here. There were 3 (and even more if you count the alignment restrictions on paladins in BECMI) editions before 4e that treated the paladin with the GM adjudicating the paladins code/alignment... I'm not against there being a sidebar saying "Ignore the falling mechanics if it doesn't sit right with your group... but there is no way I agree that one edition should set the precedence vs. 3 or more. So please tell me why shouldn't it be the default?</blockquote>
