In this game, one person posts something a paladin did, and then the next poster explains why he fell, and then offers his own paladin action.

Two ways you can go about it. You can offer an innocent or even charitable action, and the next person makes or finds the absurd 'evil' action:

A: The paladin bought a beggar clean clothes and a warm meal.
B: The paladin fell because the beggar was neutral, meaning he associated with non-good forces.
Or...
B: The paladin fell because he didn't say 'excuse me' when addressing the beggar initially.

Or, in the event of a clearly evil action, find the minor, inconsequential thing he did.

A: The paladin broke into the goblin warrens, slaughtering every man, woman, and child there.
B: The paladin fell because he didn't wipe his feet on the doormat before heading inside.

--------

So, let's get started. Post the reason the paladin fell, and then post your own paladin action:

The paladin woke up in his temple quarters and had a healthy breakfast.

The Purity of Violence, I think you need to chill out.

The paladin struck down the rightful king and declared herself the queen.


I concour with the other posters, Purity of Violence. I think you need to take a step back. Once was a bit much, but tolerable. Repeating it again, with such vigour, suggests you might have some issues with the topic.

As far as giving metagame reasons for the Paladin falling, I won't say it's completely against the rules, but it should be avoided, and likely isn't necessary.

The paladin referred to the dungeon as a "Danger Zone."

Scarab Sages

I actually think the rest of you are kinda making a mountain out of a molehill. You're sounding the alarm after only two posts.

By not referring to the dungeon by its proper name, the Horrible Tomb Doom, Gloom, and Hecatombs, the paladin lied.

The paladin apprehended a nefarious evildoer without killing him, had him legally convicted of his crimes and sent to prison, where the evildoer had a complete change of heart, repented for their evil ways, and is now a well-adjusted and helpful member of goodly society.


The Paladin wasn't a properly deputized member of the royal police when he apprehended the villain, and was therefore acting as an unlawful vigilante.

That one made me laugh out loud. Well played, sir/madam, well played!

FOUL! You need to find the insignificant minutae reason they fell. Read the OP, clearly Evil actions are allowed. Just saying 'because it's evil' is boring.

The paladin fell because he wasn't wearing protection.

Removed some posts. Please focus on keeping this a friendly, fun thread. Additionally, we have a filter for a reason, do not try to circumvent it, do not misuse "retarded" or use it as an insult, steer clear of using pedophilia as a joke and mocking political stereotypes. I would suggest revisiting our Community Guidelines linked under each comment box.

The Paladin fell because they failed to Detect Evil on the infant; it was a containment ceremony for a manifested qulippoth-hybrid infant prophesied to bring forth the Apocalypse. The (diet cola of) evil cult were Mostly Lawful Asmodeans and they were trying to delay the Rough Beast's return.
Infant last seen giggling and teleporting out to who knows where...
