Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crust" data-source="post: 4457174" data-attributes="member: 22330">Thanks for the response.  I feared that my thread would be ignored.I agree with you entirely.  However, I'm not going to alter reality and remove his PC from play.  I'm putting my foot down and enforcing good conduct.  Being that he's a stalker of Kharash that requires a neutral good alignment, I'm not going to expect him to follow a paladin's code, but I must set ground rules.When he recently slew a helpless evil foe (a rival of his, in fact), I had Selune herself curse him, so now he's stuck in wolf form until he atones.  I'm insisting that he show mercy to those who ask for it (even evil foes) and avoid attacking unless attacked first.  I'm also insisting that he NEVER deliberately slay a neutral or good opponent, even if the foe is hostile or magically compelled.  That's just the beginning.  What I have above might be a bit heavy-handed, so I'm revising.Another example of his misbehavior happened just yesterday (Sunday 9/9/08).  One of the PCs had been possessed by an evil, intelligent sword, and the stalker spoke aloud the following: "I'm going to ice him," referring to the possessed PC.  Nevermind that it was the sword that was evil, not the possessed PC.  Both myself and another veteran player blurted out, "NO!" and "What?" at the same moment, so it's clear that he hasn't learned.  His response was, "We can resurrect him afterward."  Nevermind that the cleric in question is lawful good and the mentor of the stalker.  Even after explaining all that, his response was, "I just don't think you understand good and evil."  I was stuttering in speechless shock.  He's stubborn, and even if he does understand, he won't admit it openly.I basically have two choices: either warn him beforehand that this or that action will result in the loss of exalted feats and class abilities, or just let him do whatever he wants and punish him without any warning.  Either way, the player does not like being controlled by me, the DM.I'm still hoping for some additional suggestions concerning the expected code of conduct for a stalker of Kharah.  Anyone?</blockquote>
