We didn't have the juicy details. It sounds a lot more like this is just another drop in the bucket instead of his first mistake (as I read it before). IF this sort of thing is pretty common then he does need to be shown to be more careful before he thinks. I had a similar player in one of my games, a sorcerer who insisted on going toe to toe with things. It almost evolved into a running joke that I was trying to kill him, when I was just running combat as normal and he just made it harder on himself.It's good that you're offering atonement. I'd let his abilities slowly seep back into him as he keeps up the good work. Going into valorous combat with a balor? The next night he has his Smites back. Helping out pesants all day? He gets back a spellcasting level. But don't make it too hard, don't make it too easy. Like I mentioned before.So parley with evil is prety well not within the scope of brining righteous pain to all evil? In which case, that's another reason for surprize about trying to deal with evil.With that sort of player history, I'm surprized he lasted this long.</blockquote>
