The wizard steps forwards and announces, "I'm going to lick the stairs." His last words it turns out.

Did anyone comment about the stairs licking him?

[Ducks and runs.]

306. If you walk by a temple of a good god, the holy water starts to boil.

307. If you walk into a temple of a good god, the holy water becomes unholy water without anyone knowing about it.

Respectfully ... these two seem highly inappropriate, in that you're affording what are supposed to be merely (or at least far more) cosmetic and interesting effects genuine power.

In addition, it's highly unlikely that holy water would boil merely from a drive-by tiefling ... let alone be desecrated by one's mere presence.

310. You will, with time, regrow a severed digit or even limb ... but the new appendage will not necessarily be a physiological match for your body.

311. Your body's musk attracts insects and other tiny vermin. While they will not attack or even alight upon you, your companions in close proximity are not so fortunate.

302. Your exhalations are smoky, scent dependent on current disposition—sulfurous if your mood is foul and reminiscent of a particular incense when you're pleased.

303. Your blood functions as an essentially indelible ink. Only you are entirely immune to this effect.

304. Your irises are two different colors ... and each switches to the other every time you blink.

305. Your tears consist of whatever you last drank.

If I'm not mistaken, "big" cats can roar but not purr, "small" cats the reverse.

Well, if we're going to get exceedingly historical ...

We're not, and we didn't.

To say or imply, though, that John was the lawful authority at the time was so egregiously inaccurate that a correction was warranted.

A good role model for a paladin is Balian in Kingdom of Heaven.

The Balian who slew an unarmed priest, or the one who was schtupping another man's wife?

That film's Balian was for the most part a man of conscience and nobility, granted ... but he was no paladin.

Interestingly enough, the historical Balian of Ibelin (who does not in the least resemble Bloom's character as portrayed in KoH) swore to Saladin in the aftermath of Hattin that he would never take up arms against Islam again ... and then promptly defended Jerusalem against the man who'd spared him.

Saladin, though, forgave him.

Except that John was the legit ruler in Richard's absence. Rather than obey the appropriately-appointed authorities, [Robin] chose to follow his own conscience. Archetypal CG all that way, baby.

Actually, no. William Longchamp was designated by Richard as justiciar, a title roughly analogous to prime minister, in his absence—in some measure, I would imagine, because he knew John was a typical Plantagenet ... and thus conspiring against him.

I would actually have pegged Robin as neutral good, but lawful is by no means out of the question.
