Why are DMs such dicks about Paladins? I saved a goblin baby, and the DM said that since it was evil aligned and I saved it, I lost Paladinhood. Explain to me how killing a baby is a better act than not killing a baby.

So I've decided that Mark Paladinguy (I'm not great with names) runs off with Goblin Baby Mark Junior and raises him to be super awesome, and fuck those guys.

	He's a distant cousin to Jim Darkmagic. Of the New Hampshire Darkmagics. You probably don't know what that's a reference to. Long story short, my Thursday evenings are free now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No clue, sorry. Is it a Dungeons and Dragons thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sort of? It's a Penny Arcade reference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes it would be easier to just read your mind, I think. So is it a fun game? When people aren't trying to make you kill babies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you have the right group of people, and a good DM. And enough pizza. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cool. So you were Paladinguy. That's like a knight? What would I be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorcerer. Probably Neutral Good. I've given thought to this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outgrewthenest 2009-07-31 03:53 am UTC (link)
	You have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kidsupes 2009-07-31 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Sorcerers are born, not made. Kind of why I was a Half-elf. I think my dad would be the elf in this metaphor. I... am a nerd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's adorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to try to find a new group. So... this is just out of the blue, and you don't have to say yes or anything, but if I find a decent group, would you want to play with us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outgrewthenest 2009-07-31 04:23 am UTC (link)
	I could try, if you want to show me how. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you wanted to dabble with morally gray, you shouldn't have picked a Paladin. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's saving a baby. It's as far from gray as you can possibly get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quantum_ass 2009-07-31 03:30 am UTC (link)
	That baby would just as soon kill you as look at you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kidsupes 2009-07-31 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Well, it would suck at it, because it's a baby. Moral of the story: part of being Good means you don't kill things that can't kill you back. Unless they're food. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	...just ~~came up for air~~ took a quick look at the computer and saw this. Jon Kent? YOU are my HERO. (Reply to this)

	And this is why I only play lawful neutrals. You won't lose anything if you save babies. Of course, in my case, I wouldn't have saved the goblin baby, as it's a goblin. (Reply to this)
