Message: <blockquote data-quote="Truth Seeker" data-source="post: 2709030" data-attributes="member: 11804">You know something...given the fact that this scene happened to one person.I know for a fact, that everyone here, will react differently, depending on the circumstances.All this posturing on quoting text from books...again, does not apply.What comes down to it, is this.When it happens, what are any of you...going to do, when it happens.Don't reply.Keep it yourself.I have already given a possible solution to the problem, and it is in the DM's best interest to settle it.Stop looking at it, from a paladin's view, you are not looking from the player's, correction...the character's view.The DM cannot know, unless they have walked in that character's shoes, so to speak. To see what is going on in that PC's head. I can say something to the matter, cause, it happened to me, in one game. The DM was shocked, on what happened, he stated to me, that he couldn't believe I did that, I replied, "It was not me, you saw the character/persona responding to the scene given." When you are in the moment, channeling the persona literally...you become somewhat, a third person viewer...and you are watching a situation unfold before you.It can happen, and that is what has happen from the first post, and then the extended explanation by the author.In the end, how ever it seen, and I have pointed out...it got away, the whole situation did get away...cause it was ended on a cliffhanger *smart call*It troubled the DM, who in turn, asked for advice. And my advice...the trappings of the paladinhood being used, needs to be dropped.The bigger issue at hand, with all that transpired, was the owner of the house, was within their right, to give punishment or to deal with the situation as they see fit.Did the DM in question, realize that at some point, the scene went beyond on what they expected.It fell into a gray area...buttons were pushed, and what was returned, was a total unexpected feedback.This is what roleplaying is about...And by the way, unless it says in the PHB*hmmm, it might, I am not looking at it, for the moment*, that a paladin, male or female should not have a seperate life outside the duties of their deity, life can get boring real quick. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> There is a saying by a friend of mine that makes this pretty simple.What is done for the church, it done on their time.What is done for family, is also, on their own time.I think I will end it here...this subject, with like all other subject of dealing with a paladin, are too black & white, too religious, too moral, or too much ethical.And everyone, or almost everyone forgets...there is a person underneath that mantle...a person with feelings.Nite, wait...morning.</blockquote>
