What is the dumbest way you've seen a paladin lose his paladinhood?

[QUOTE="okuth0r, post: 1254622, member: 1615"] i have had 2 instances, though no loss paladin ability, and one is a ethics complain. in a long term campaign i was running there was a paladin (2e) who in this adventure came across a +1 two-handed sword. normally useing a sword and shield he started using the twohander. the party later came into combat with a devil (or daemon, same thing). it was the last to fall and i decided to do soemthing special (i would throw in odd tidbits with magic weapons having some absorb creature kills making them more magical.) so i told the party basically this. "As the massive sword strikes the final blow to the demonic creature you see it begin to twist, pulling from your grip it twirls and as it does it looks like the deamon is slowly sucked into the blade. once the daemons body is gone the blade swivels hilt up and imbeds itself a foot into the floor" (the floor was perviously discovered/described as ":diamond hard crystal" it was a floating castle in the coulds) the paladins next words "I pull the sword free" not loosing his paladinhood, his soul was flung from his body as the daemon in the blade took over. my compaint was a campaign i regretfully played in for a year. a Lawfull good Dwarven Paladin of moradin (non regular gorup, some showed up all the time, me, others were in and out. so players were from 4 to 12 in each game) we had killed something big and were checking the treasure. now character wise if he didnt need it, didnt want it. but one was taking everything. when done they had 7 items the rest had 0-2. so taking that dwarves (especailly ones of moradin, leaders in dwarven socieity) i thought it fair to teach the character a lesson. the new (at that time) compleat spell books had a spell, Bestow Minor Curse. with the curse that made him give away worldly posessions. i cast the spell, the dm then mentions "oh, this is says (in a small footnote) only cast by evil characters, you loose all access to spells." no warning, no bad feeling, nothing. my attonement was to make pots and pans for the dms character/npc town. i still dont understand the whole thing. also my characters next purchase was a Phlyactly of Faithfullness.
