>>48049416
I get my divine powers from my enlightened intelligence about the truth
I refuse to enter cities because I refuse to pay the entry fee/tax. Never played a druid neither.

>>48049696
to be fair in 3.5 the wizard doesn't need to give a single fuck about his party post level 5, since he can outdo the entire rest of the group combined at that point, wizards are some serious shit there.

I had a friend who legitimately questioned if this was possible

>after first session he starts asking me if it's possible to be a paladin without a god
>I say no that's actually impossible in D&D because there are actual real life gods that literally give you power when you pray for it
>suggest just playing a fighter because he can play a knight without having divinity thrust upon him
>"But couldn't I be like who doesn't know where the power comes from?"
>"Paladin's are LITERALLY given power when they ask for it from a particular god. The gods aren't just throwing around divine power to people who don't believe in them"
I don't get it, if you don't want to be divinely aligned in a world with TANGIBLE good and evil why play a class based around them.
>the bard only knows two songs, and plays them constantly
>>48050524
Because some atheists are stupid.
>>48050606
That's the thing, he was raised in a VERY religious household. I think he is leaning towards atheism but he isn't a militant atheist or something.
Maybe is he caught up on the christian belief of not worshiping another god, even if it's pretending to worship another god when you're RPing a fictional person. But I mean just play a fighter, it's a knight without the holy it's not hard to grasp.
>>48050524
But that's wrong. Both the 3.5 handbook and the Pathfinder handbook EXPLICITLY say that a paladin doesn't have to have a deity. It is enough for them to be committed to justice and the greater good.
>>48050535
>the bard only knows two songs, and plays them constantly
That's one damn realistic bard, actually.
>>48050524
>after first session he starts asking me if it's possible to be a paladin without a god

What a maroon.
>>48050535
>The barbarian only knows one song
>It's Darude - Sandstorm played poorly on a child's recorder
He played it at least twice every game from his phone.
I never wanted to kill someone before, but I wanted to kill him.
>The DM says slaughtering an entire arena fighting pit drow audience is out of alignment.
Why the hell did he give the Slave boss a ring of greater wish? Why did the party expect me, the paladin, to use it the most morally? My deity was Bahamut.

RULES OF NATURE
>>48049399
Well I'm not buying him booze and I'm not sharing so if he wants to get fucked up tonight he can go lick some toads or something. Ingrate.
>The Paladin casts detect evil upon every party member and NPC.
>>48050524
nationalist paladin?
>>48051624
Would detect evil ping on Hellboy?
He strikes me more as chaotic good.
>>48049625
So if at any point you start to doubt what you know to be true, do you lose your powers? What if everything you've ever known was an illusion and you simply never noticed it. Would you even be able to tell the difference between truth and lie when all you've ever known was the lie? How do you even know if the thing that you recognize as you is even "you" to begin with? Guess you'll just have to toss out all you think you know and start from scratch till you find out what actually is true and what isn't.
>>48051649
He is the argument for nurture over nature. He would ping as any good alignment, probably neutral good.
>A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them.
>you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order.
>>48051649
Of course it would, he has the [Evil] subtype, which automatically makes him count as Evil for anything that cares about it, in addition to whatever his actual alignment is.
And yeah, Chaotic Good.
>>48051716
>Wut
>>48051649
Yes, due to hellish blood. It's like a non-Evil character wearing a cursed Evil artifact - any sort of evil detection will ping.
>>48051782
I think the idea is that he'd ping because of his demonic heritage (being literally a devil), but that doesn't reflect on his personal alignment.
>The barbarian doesn't want to buy his own potions and keeps taking his team mates potions to heal himself mid battle...
>>48052262
Did you civilize him? because if not you were asking for him to do shit like this.
>The evil-aligned party member is acting more nobly and restrained than the good and neutral-aligned party members
>>48052293
I can't do shit since I'm DMing, the party has fist fought him tho...
>>48052336
>acting
I don't see the issue desu senpai
>>48051649
It would, but detect good would also ping. He has the evil subtype but he is also good, so the whole tree lights up.
Yes alignment is stupid and yes good succubi can exist, next.
>>48052430
>yes good succubi can exist
You're just saying that because it's suicidal to tell a succubus they're a bad lay.
>>48052430

"Anyway, here's Wonderwall"
>>48049399
on this: why has every druid i've ever seen in a game either been the fucking unabomber reborn or basically doesn't do anything nature related
where has the happy medium between ecoterorrist and slightly magical environmentalist gone
>>48052293
Played and finished that game hungover in one sitting at a mates house. Goddamn do I feel bad for anyone who was hype for this game. I did have fun at least though, and it looked pretty. We had a good time laughing at the semi automatic automatic scorpions.
>>48051649
Yes, because he is literally made of evil, even though he is a good aligned character
>>48050535
>bard has 2 drummers
>>48051624
If you have detect evil at will, it's literally to your detriment to ever not be casting it, because there's a non-zero chance you'll miss out on someone that wants to fuck your shit up but is otherwise above suspicion.
If anything, I'd say that's a problem caused by your GM not taking it for granted the player's character is doing that constantly and including the information as standard in any description of the area. Then again, I have a pet peeve for GMs that make you explicitly state you're using standard precautions and treat you like you're metagaming if you argue it's obvious you would have done what they're saying you didn't do and are now punishing you for not doing.

>>48050673
the 2nd Edition Complete Book of Paladins says the same thing too.
Now some worlds might have different rules, like Forgotten Realms all divine casters need to have a god, even Druids and Rangers. (though that might have changed in 4th and 5th ed.)

I will never understand clerics/paladins. Why worship a god when you can become one.

isn't that basically what a paladin is past like 30th level or so
>>48050650

Those people have the most inclination towards the militant atheism anon, as backlash against religion being forced on them.
>>48053744

>Other clerics across Eberron serve no church and claim no allegiance to any deity. They recognize the power of the deities, but not their authority over mortal life. They hold principles of alignment or other abstract ideals higher than the deities who claim these ideals in their portfolios, and they draw divine power from the pervasive spiritual force in the world instead of channeling it through deities. These clerics are usually outcasts and loners, but the reality of their power is impossible to deny, and it lends credence to their unorthodox theology.

What gets me are the assholes who pull this shit and then go to DM advice columns and are like "Dear Advice Giver: My party has a 119 step checklist that they perform in its entirety before taking any action. The last 5 room dungeon we ran took 7 and a half months to complete. What's a good trap I can use to solve this?"
