Having fun with lying PC paladin

Lol I have a player in AoW who's paladin keeps lying...The three adventureres from greyhawk arrive at the mine shack and ask if the PC's know where the cairn is. "Nope...no idea where it might be" shouts the paladin. Blam....Pelor sucks 100xp as a penalty for lying (It was spur of the moment ruling but god it was funny and felt appropriate)..."I'm keeping my mouth shut...I need my xp". not 10 minutes later the Paladin again lies his arse off at the Ferril Dog and blam loses another batch of Xp. 'Firk Ding Blast' is a good summerization of his reaction..."Damn it, it's hard to be a paladin!" I think he gets the point....this is a good way to keep him in line until he really violates his creed majorly.

Rather than penalize him xp, one of my friends had a player with a similar problem. After a few DM-player warnings, he had a divine servant of his god show up, and hand him the ethos of his god and the precepts of a paladin on steel plates, commanding him to memorize them and carry them with him wherever he might go -- and then the DM handed him a sheet with the code of conduct for paladins, and the dogma for his deity typed up all formally.

The next time it happened, he was warned -- he lost his paladin status until he atoned ...

That has to be one of the best (and most humorous) ways I've ever heard for dealing with a misbehaving paladin.

Yeah, but I'm thinking I don't want to have divine beings pop up any time soon....besides, he really cringes when he loses Xp....I don't think he would mind being a normal fighter if he lost his abilities (yeah, why's he playing a Paladin)...but losing XP freaks him

Was this celestial servant named Moroni, by chance?
