Message: <blockquote data-quote="Truth Seeker" data-source="post: 2710046" data-attributes="member: 11804">I believe on the DM's extended explanation...the near to killing part was held in limbo.Please look <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2708079&postcount=166" target="_blank">here</a> for the more define detail. Second, the subject title is misleading.Third, as I said in further posts...to me, the scene got away from the DM and the player involved.And lastily, as it was said on several occasions here, that the 'paladin' should be held to higher standard than anyone else.May I ask this question then, if this was a Mage, fighter, rogue, or Barbarian. or ranger, that this indicent happened to...what standard should be held on them as well?Let us be equal across the board.And for you Demmero, I never said I was right either. It is a view expressed, and I leave it there as such.Finally, channeling a Paladin, can be easy for some, and difficult for others. I have been told, by a friend, that is a series of books, that give a illustration on what a paladin can be.The name of the author might be David Eddings *hope that last name is right*, maybe this will help, but then again, that depends on who wants to educate themselves further.Me, I draw from life, got 33 years to look back on.Everything that is written about a paladin, is a attempt by a author's view, the paladin is based on the tales of actual knights from the medival days. Change them around, by adding the power of the divine, and click-click, there you go.This has been the most trouble profession to be discussed around the table, up the stairs, in a car, on the cell phone and where ever else, a voice or typed text can be seen and  be heard.There is NO major example ICon of what a paladin is suppose to be, and TSR and WOtc has not provided one, and that needs no explanation.I just love it, when everyone, just harps on the profession, well for those that did...and forget the person behind the cover.Please let it be concentrated on what happened in that house, and only that house, bringing up the laws of the city *they weren't respected by the individuals that planned the break in and assualt* at the moment, don't apply there, cause, there is a unspoken law that was broken, the ability to defend one's own property and those who live in it.This not a black & white issue, the scene opened the box, and usher forth the unexpected.What is happening here, and I see all the time, the paladin has been put on a pedstal, and is dared at, not to fall off, I see that everytime. If that was true, then no anti-paladin, to blackguard, back to anti-paladin...should not exist.And honestly, the fault lies with us, each of us, has our own interpertation on what a paladin should be, the DM and player's views are far apart, there is no true standard or pedstal watching to look at *don't quote the PHB, this goes beyond that*That is our failing, and no matter is said or done, a paladin to us, is what each of us see it to be. Yeah, the guidelines are suppose to give directions, but they are 2D stationary fixed instructions, when it comes to roleplaying, that is a fully 3 active environment. There no rules that can control fully, a problem like this.That is left to us, and to this day...it still messes with our heads. It is a...Never Ending Battle.-When I thought I could leave, they had to drag me back in- <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
