ethos problems

[Uthak]

I have a player in my jade regent game that is playing a Green Faith Druid. He has said that he is true neutral and that is the alignment on his sheet. however he has attacked animals that only seem to be watching the party & seems to not be playing the Green Faith the way it reads in the factions guide and the faiths of balance book.

I can understand defending himself...but not attacking something that has not yet provoked hostilities.

What is the best way to handle this.

any help would be great.

Ex-Druid:

A druid who ceases to revere nature, changes to a prohibited alignment, or teaches the Druidic language to a nondruid loses all spells and druid abilities (including her animal companion, but not including weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies). She cannot thereafter gain levels as a druid until she atones (see the atonement spell description).

I am not familiar with the Jade Regent, but attacking animals for no good reason is far from revering nature. However, I would give him a warning for his first offense. If he keeps doing he'll either need to atone or roll a new character.

I would talk to the player alone before the next session about what his and my understandings are when it comes to the Green Faith. Let him read the faction guide and highlight the sections that I felt he is not following. Make sure he gets a chance to voice his interpretations of the faith and come to an understanding before it goes any further. Avoiding statements like "Your RPing your faith wrong." or similar negative statements. Give a little get a little. Stay positive.

A side note, does he have access to those guides? The small write up in the Inner Sea World Guide could lead to a "mixed" interpretation of the faith.
