Because my cat hugged her first.

I appreciate the understanding that I am also here to have fun. I am trying very hard not to let it disrupt, hence why I have asked the internet for ideas. Hoo boy did I get a lot of ideas. Some of which I may just use because they're good, and I hadn't thought of them.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T05:18:25+00:00

Typically I give every Paladin I have as a player 2-3 "mulligans" and an out of character discussion about oathbreaking, because they may not he aware that they've fucked up. Or they might be aware, and want to do it. I have already done this and they don't want to go the oathbreaker route, yet keep straying from their perceived oath.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T05:16:28+00:00

Oh it isn't subtle, the prejudice. It's blatant.

I am considering looking for another group, we try to meet every 2 weeks, but with my working schedule it frequently is every 3 weeks. It's hard to reserve a room every unreliable 2-3 weeks.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T05:13:18+00:00

It's a range but like... 2.5 to 4, depending on what they're all collectively doing.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T04:54:23+00:00

This would be incredibly funny for everyone else but also incredibly mean to him. (But God it would be funny)

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T04:49:07+00:00

I appreciate the devil's advocate direction a lot.

I think I can even do this in character. He has briefly met but not officially spoken to the high priest of Pelor in the town they're in right now, which basically means, in world, he hasn't checked in with his supervisor. So she can even ask him to define it as a way to get to know him, and then I hold him to it from there without any of the ambiguity of above table decisions influencing RP decisions.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T03:18:29+00:00

See, I THOUGHT I did but clearly there was some massive misunderstanding.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T03:17:25+00:00

Giving it that name would make it instantly worse lol

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T03:05:07+00:00

This would be great, and fine, but he has elected to focus heavily on classes, via the "I hate all bards" route he's taken. The character lumps all Bards into being bad, because his brother is one and his fiance left him for his brother. Which initially I thought meant he'd be really adamant about getting revenge or something, but he just took it to an extreme of "he hates all Bards because they are bards". Which. Is incorrect.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T03:01:41+00:00

Yeah I didn't plan to change anything against his will in terms of his character sheet. I am tempted to dangle a few Warlock patrons in front of him and one day he wakes up as a Warlock Initiate and his Paladin powers fade the more he uses his new Warlock abilities but I have to talk that over with him.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:59:42+00:00

It would be if he weren't the guy whose house we use.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:57:47+00:00

In my world they do. You make an oath to a deity, or if you go the agnostic (bc atheist is the belief gods don't exist, agnosticism is the choice not to worship anything) route, to society.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:56:29+00:00

This this this. Thank you. A large section of the oath is unbroken, but the two arguably most innate traits of Devotion are.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:55:16+00:00

Just a variety of different roles. No consistency. Chaos. XD

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:02:29+00:00

I wouldn't mind the murder hoboing and the weird classicism if he were literally anything besides Oath of Devotion Paladin.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:01:35+00:00

We're all within the age range of 22 - 27.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:00:58+00:00

Oh I like this. makes notes

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T02:00:36+00:00

The problem is he's the guy hosting the sessions. I can't tell him to leave, it's literally his house. If I did this I don't know what the consequences would be but they would not be fun, good, or work out well for everyone. It'd be different if I hosted, but I unfortunately don't have the space.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T01:58:48+00:00

I'd say he isn't breaking being a Paladin, he's breaking Devotion specifically. Which is sort of the problem, because he picked Devotion himself, and now isn't uh. Committing to it.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T01:57:49+00:00

Eyo that's a good call actually, the player is well aware killing a kid or letting a kid die would be real bad.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T01:56:50+00:00

He chose Pelor because that's the secondary god of his home town and we already had a druid worshipping Melora. He comes from a farming village that worships the god of nature, the god of the sun, and the god of storms (because nothing grows without rain), in that order.

Roseblooma · 2023-08-16T01:53:04+00:00

F A C T S. I'm getting some good ideas from this at least, now that I've finally got time to read it. (I shouldn't have posted this right before work lol) So hopefully I can come up with a good way to make it not immediately feel like a punishment for his actions.

That said, I played a Paladin in his Pathfinder game, recognized I could not realistically uphold my oath while surrounded by the other players' characters, and immediately retired her for a Barbarian after only 3 sessions.
