You're not from around here, are you?Wait, that's my church, too...Part and parcel of doing work for Our Lady of Ages.You. You, I like. Not sayin' no to the fire, neither.Calling me "the nice one" is just a measure of how much worse she is. At least I bother threatening the evildoer and offering the chance to stand down before the flail comes out; Ash just lays on with the fire.Paladins are supposed to be nice!::::I need positive waves.., now!::sends positive waves:: Oh, I don't have Kn: Geography trained, but probably not!

I don't even know what I'd do with a mount. Waste of a good spring attack.If I recall correctly didn't you trade yours for a puppy? I can do that?! I am totally doing that when I level up.

Spare him his life from this monstrosity!
Well, I'm not part of the church of Arachne. And I don't ride much anyway.You get a three-headed puppy instead. I GET WHAT? THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER.

Shiny? Where?!
Scint says I did. Post one was describing the bad things happening to the local villagers. Post two was the bad things happening to their animals. Party's en-route to investigate.Two posts into my PbP and I've already broken the paladin.Next time, do it in one. As if the villagers suffering wasn't enough. Those poor poor animals! I can't help that I care!
Did someone say cats?
Kitty!
...Must you?
So, what expectations did you set for the game before play? If you told your players that you were going for a 'realistic' fantasy campaign without 'training wheels' then they should expect that they will be outgunned at some point, that they will need to retreat from time to time, and that they will need to make smart combat choices.I wonder what it says about me that my "training wheels" campaign involved the level-2 party stumbling onto a Dire Moose... Nothing good, considering we handled that just fine and nearly lost the magus to a pack of weasels.

I love paladins. The first character (this one, in fact!) I ever played for Pathfinder was a paladin - of LN Hades, at that. She was probably overly a traditional stick in the mud - I blame my newbie status for that, and I think I'd play her a bit differently were I to pick her up again. But she was a blast for the short time I played her. I don't see the problem with requiring an alignment and a code of honor. I think it's a fun challenge. But then...I *like* it when a good character is clearly good. Moral ambiguity's fun and all, but it's almost refreshing to see paladins what with all these antihereoes around (Lookin' at you, Batman). Only when there's a clear miscommunication between the paladin and everyone else as to what that means. ...And the fact that everyone but the paladin thinks making them fall is hilarious. Very glad I didn't have that sort of group, but I've heard horror stories. Newbie's 2cp. |
