[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 2342567, member: 5890"] No, but I do know that you sound like paladins are all but unplayable in your game. So, when a foe is defeated and is wielding a magical sword, your paladin forces the party to leave it with the body? Same for all the rest of the gear? Like I said - sounds like you make paladins unplayable. Further: The paladin has only a few options - especially when running with your "vampires must eat people" line. 1) The vampire is allowed to feed on fallen foes. 2) The vampire doesn't feed on fallen foes, goes crazy and feeds on just anyone. 3) The vampire is killed despite being non-evil As far as I can see, all three of those are going against the paladin's code. Finally - I think any DM who looks to force the paladin to commit code infractions is being a complete jerk. Doing so usually requires the DM to be really loose with the definition of what counts as an infraction. That's what I see you doing with "draining blood is torture, so it's evil" + "drinking blood of a fallen foe is desecration, so it's evil" + "you must drink the blood of a humanoid". I honestly don't see how you could not come to the conclusion that any paladin must be a pacifist vegetarian if your definition of evil is quite so broad. [/QUOTE]
