[QUOTE="Andor, post: 2708677, member: 1879"] Ok. Resolution idea. We all know that Paladins who commit a chotic act or evil act suffer varies consequences, yes? Nowhere in the rules does it say that this happens immediately, or in a direct intervention by god method. SO: If it does not screw up your stated workings for Paladins, have an Inquisitor show up. Someone with the authority to judge the character and the god granted power to strip him of his paladinhood or send him on an atonement quest. Everything is fine for now. He retains all his powers and may not even realize there was a problem (although he should.) But a week from now there is a knock on the door and there stands the Inquisitor. Basically what follows in a courts-martial over the incident. Play it out however you want, but the Paladin should be quaking in his boots. Let the other characters act as witnesses if you want to keep them involved, or just the Paladin if you want to keep it short. Even if he gets off without penalty, the players should sure as HELL get the message that he was right on the edge there. And as a roleplaying bonus sometime later the Paladin may have to pay his debt forward when he recieves a vision and now has to go and act as inquisitor for some other poor shlub. [/QUOTE]
