Message: <blockquote data-quote="hopeless" data-source="post: 2829921" data-attributes="member: 36349">Reg: Variant rulesThe player who ran the Paladin that ran into the Paladin of the Rotlord believed that he followed a virtue rather than specifically a god and when last noted his Paladin was originally from the world of Dragonlance stranded on Tellene around the time Tiamat stole his world. The closest god to the one he served was the Knight of the Gods, but I had to admit he was the best Paladin player I've ever witnessed mnaging to use his code to defeat traps I was afraid were almost a guaranteed TPK.After seeing this other player run his character which was effectively a noble born from the Shield Lands trained as a Paladin of Hieronymous in the order based in Greyhawk, well the slaying of the goblin was just the tip of the iceberg and I have already doen a thread on this subject just trying to understand how the heck the DM actually agreed he didn't violate his code when he's been breaking it ever since the campaign he briefly ran started!Anyway I suspect I better limit this to Good and Evil rather than Law and Chaos since that seems more a likely basis for countering the efforts of such characters.Out of curiosity if your dm had just told you that the little cave you've just found holds a goblin thats been chained to the wall and looks visibly abused and after questioning her since there are only two characters able to converse in goblin (and the Paladin isn't either of them) then the eprson running the Paladin deliberately attempts to kill the prisoner over the objections of a LG Monk and a NG Halfling Sorceror who is prompted to help the goblin escape only to have the Paladin run them both down so he can hack the goblin down from behind. Would you be surprised to know that the player used 1st edition rules (and he alone used since noone else knew about that detail at the time) to get his hands on a set of full plate even though he had claimed to only want the character as  one off since he wanted to run a rogue...</blockquote>
