[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2136208, member: 29014"] We had a paladin once in a game where I was a player who didn't have any armour, so he didn't clank around, but he did have a sock puppet both in character and out of character as a prop. He was pretty crazy, and should have lost his paladinhood, but the DM felt sorry for him I guess. At least he sometimes agreed to do good acts, when he wasn't talking to his sock puppet. My Neutral Good enchanter basically had to take over the moral authority spot, which wasn't easy with 4 Chaotic Neutral characters who committed acts that would make Chaotic Evil characters in the campaign I DM think twice. The party bard sang Inspire Courage...for the enemies. Then our fighter cut out his tongue and sliced off his fingers in vengeance. The druid threatened to murder the entire party in our sleep until I geased her to make her stop. The rogue began burning a caravan full of food we had waylaid from evil people that I was trying to distribute to the starved villagers. I talked to him in character, and rolled Diplomacy and he ignored me. Then I charmed him and he said it was agaisnt his nature not to burn the food and called for an opposed Charisma check. See what happens when your paladin goes bad! The world needs paladins, and that is something that a treacherous deity like Torm could simply never understand. Why, just today I saw you trying to min/max a murderous Chaotic Evil character. Now Cyric, there's an upstanding fellow. By the way, the adventuring party I mentioned above was actually not made up, much to my chagrin... [/QUOTE]
