[QUOTE="Ylis, post: 1391596, member: 16749"] Honestly, I don't think you over reacted. Though some might think that you went overboard by stripping the character of his paladinhood, I think you followed the rules of honor and the paladin's code the way it was meant to be followed. If he does something blatantly against the code (and whether or not he remembered his oath is irrelevant to most deities...he took the oath, he's bound to it until his death), he should, technically, be stripped of paladinhood. Yes, players will get angry, but why play a paladin if you're planning on getting away with breaking the code? The code is one of the challenges of the class. Otherwise, you're just a glorified fighter. So, I actually commend you for sticking to your guns as a GM. Perhaps your harshness will make players think in the future about their actions. Take it as a learning experience for all...you now have a better idea of what you would do in the future, and your players have a more serious outlook to the paladin. :) [/QUOTE]
