[QUOTE="Arnwyn, post: 1389912, member: 7701"] Did the player give any justification to his actions? When my players create paladin characters, I'm always interested in hearing justifications to their actions - since I'm no mind-reader, I want to hear what [i]they're[/i] thinking before I make any decision as to the consequences of their actions. Based on the info above, I agree with the "punishing" of the character by dropping his paladinhood (no excuse for oathbreaking), but I'd probably only make it temporary until [i]atonement[/i]... (maybe in hindsight, a quick reminder of his oath would have been a good idea, or not speed the action along so quickly for there to be "no time" - there's [i]always[/i] time if the DM says there is). I wouldn't be too worried about the dragon getting the arrow, though. It's useless to him, and - just like Treebore above says - it would be highly unlikely that the dragon would give such an item to anyone; I'm thinking that a Blue Dragon would have some trust issues...
