I feel a little bad if people feel i was baiting, i was just trying to be as polite as possible about it and get some advice. Not spark controversy. I have appreciated all the different viewpoints though. I think the real decision I have is whether to talk to him out of game or in game, he takes his character really seriously, I think maybe he's just not thinking his actions through, so i think he would appreciate the in-game intervention... but on the other hand maybe I should explain what he's doing wrong out of game and give him the option to re-roll his character?
When in doubt, start with out-of-character. It is a good idea in general.
To be fair, I honestly don't think you were baiting and I don't mean to imply so.
I do think it'd be best to talk to him out of character, if you believe its an out of character problem. Sit down, get a couple of beers and basically say 'Lusty is totes fine, playing hide the sausage with a skull raises eyebrows man, you don't have to go to the complete extreme to play up how he's lusty'
Unless it is totally in character for him to do so in which case we could totally have the wrong end of the stick and he could explain the logic behind it to you and you could totally realize he's playing it legit, who knows.

I can honestly say this is the first time I've heard of a Paladin f$@@ing skulls.
Thank you!
You're welcome lol.
He mostly is playing Paladin cause he wanted to be a "TANK" and thought that plate+self heals would be the best option.
I think the behavior is because the group gets a little rowdy and he wants to be part of that.
Maybe there's a better option for him, but i'm hesitant to move him away from paladin too far because he's the only source of healing for the group since the witch had to quit.
I can honestly say this is the first time I've heard of a Paladin f+&~ing skulls.
Thank you!
I think Iomedae might need to have a sacred holy dream visit (provided the result of the OOC conversation has the player still playing in the campaign) which leaves the player much like one of the surviving characters in Dogma with a *love* of *Iomedae*...
Also...
Iomedae... do do de do do...

An adventuring paladin should be able to afford child support without settling down. Heck, he can probably deposit 18 years' child support on her all at once and call it a day.Agreed on this one; settling down to raise a kid rather than adventure would be the less Good option in a lot of cases, depending on the campaign.
Good points, though as a relatively new parent myself, I feel like financial support is only a small part of the role of a parent. Dropping a bag of gold and then taking off to go fight some great evil isn't necessarily going to do a heck of a lot for the abandoned mother and child.
I mean, it may end up being the right thing to do, but it shouldn't be seen as an easy fix to the 'inconvenience' of an unexpected child. The DM could certainly play up the mother's feelings of abandonment to drive the point home, and maybe even have some of the other townsfolk give him hard looks (or at least treat him indifferently compared to the other heroes who they adore, or something).
I feel this sort of approach strikes the right balance of letting the player play his character, but reinforcing that actions have consequences.
Of course, if he violates any more bodies, there should be a more heavy-handed intervention.
No reason she should have to raise the kid alone. Call the gold a dowry. With enough of it she can get a husband of decent social status who'll overlook that the kid isn't his. According to fantasy literature of the type PF is based on, this is what nobles did all the time when they dallied with commoners.
Insinuator Antipaladin.
Plate+Self Heals and can do whatever the f#~* he wants.
Wow, that's an awesomely prickish Arch, probably too selfish for him, cause he wants to "help + protect" the group.
But i like the idea.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sorry guys! (Fuzzy Wuzzy and Rysky) Didn't mean to sow confusion, I realized how f%%$ed up it sounded after posting. :-)
So... going back to the live bodies... what race is he? The long-lived ones are a lot less fertile.

He couldn't decide between Elf and Dwarf so i adapted 3.5 Dwelf for him.
I just talked to him in person, he agreed that skull violation was a bit far. He wants to stay a paladin and promised to tone it down.

Is it a duck, that sounds like something a duck would do.
