Message: <blockquote data-quote="Truth Seeker" data-source="post: 2708634" data-attributes="member: 11804">Well, I will look at it this way...it was roleplayed, roleplayed from a much angry and hurt man, whose pride was wounded. For all the protections and possible strengths of arms that was in that house...someone got to his wife.I do not look at the situation from a paladin view, that was the DM and writer of this thread that marked it so.What happened there, he puts himself in a corner, cause the scene became too powerful, emotional charged. Was the player asked, after the game was over, was he okay with it?As you can see from my next to latest post...it was viewed from an individual who was heavily distraught.Don't deal with the paladin, deal with the man, deal with the frightened husband.And also, no one, one here, and even me, cannot predict on what the outcome should be, if the outline was for the "paladin" was detain and question the halfing, who was already (the man) was upset in several degrees. Sorry, but all of this, this scene belongs to the DM and the player only. What comes out of it, will be again, should be dealt with the forementioned two.What happened here, a scene got too big too handle, and the player was channeling, pretty well, the emotions of a person whose home was broken into, whose love one was threaten, and everyone here, almost one here keeps forgetting that character is upset, is livid, that the attempt was done in his home, on his own grounds.And aftermath should be what?He gets punished, cause he didn't check his anger right away, after all that happened, in that house.You know what, I will go to the player's side, cause...one reason, I don't see a paladin, religion, or god being involved in that situation.What I see from a roleplayed point of view, is a person who was wounded mentally and spiritually.To resolve this, besides the character being sidelined as mentioned, roleplay that scene out...cause the DM has a hit a nerve with his player, on a very touchy situation, that involved family.You indirectly trigger a response, and it was 'thrown' back at you, in roleplay, well roleplay back, and when finished...sit down and talk about it. No book, no guideline or rule or advise is going to help in this situation.From this, this is how, you can become a better DM and he, a better player.Learn from the experience.And that is truth of the matter.</blockquote>
