[QUOTE="Alloran, post: 1765885, member: 21733"] Interesting question. Here's my two cents. The guy who used to DM for me wanted to play, so I took over a game. He made himself a lawful evil character named Usa who worshipped Pelor. Yes, Pelor. His character thought it was his duty to find the Paladins of Pelor and test them, to see if they were strong enough to serve Pelor's might. If they were strong enough, Usa would be vanquished. If they wern't, then the wern't good enough to be servents of Pelor. Now, silliness aside, the Character thought he was being Lawful good and doing what he thought Pelor told him to. (::alofting a Holy Symbol:: the love of Pelor! It burns with righteousness!) So. Meandering aside, to the point. The DM has to adjucate (sp) what they think is the best way to do it. Alignment should be in the hands of the DM and not the player. The Player says "I'm Lawful Good!" and the DM should say "Show me." If the Paladin is becoming evil, give him warnings and take his stuff away if it gets to be bad. Same with a Monk or a Cleric. Be fair to the player, but when all is said and done, it's in the hands of the DM. [/QUOTE]
