[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1524903, member: 9037"] Paladins used to be one of my favorite classes but not any longer I have found that nothing can disrupt a game faster than a paladin's sense of morale outrage. There is another way of leading and trying to influnce people to do good besides threats to fellow party members if they don't see eye to eye with you. And that is lead by example. Show your fellow party members that doing good things has its own rewards. My current character is a neutral sorcerer with a lot of necromantic (no play with dead) spells. Trapped in the abyss, outnumbered, with limited resources she made the decision to cast symbol of pain her only spell with an evil descriptor and one that had never been cast before the paladin had never seen her cast any spell with evil in it. She wanted the spell which was cast on a rock to be able to be triggered in the path of the evil creatures chasing them to slow them down and give the party a chance to escape. Well the paladin did a spellcraft check to see what spell was being cast tried to dispel it and then even when the rest of the party did not have a problem with it refused to travel with the sorcerer unless she destroyed the item and when she gave in and mage handed it away from the party he told her if she tried to activate it he would slay her where she stood. My character at that point made the decision to save herself and throw her lot in wth the devils who will be soon attacking the demons because as far as she can tell lawful evil is lot easier to deal with than lawful good.
