I think what rubbed me the wrong way was Lloyd assuming Matt shot the goblin because of her race.
Even before Lloyd's statement, I got the feeling that this was part of the reason Matt shot at her. Not because I can remember Matt ever saying anything directly bigoted about goblins (or about anyone but elves, for that matter), but because I can't quite imagine him shooting a human in the back as she tried to surrender.
He's a jerk, but not that great of a jerk...unless he finds some other reason to depersonalize her. So whether he was conscious of it or not, I am inclined to think the goblin's race was part of the reason he tried to kill her.
Not trying to say you're wrong, or that Lloyd didn't jump to an unfair conclusion, but I didn't find his conclusion all that improbable.
Anyway, welcome back Discord! Always good to see you.
Well, yeah. This is Matt we're talking about. :smallwink:
Yeah. Lloyd could probably shame him out of that too, but it would get disturbing.
Lloyd: "You like picking on ugly people? Look at me, Matt. I'm pretty damned ugly. Are you going to shoot me?"
Matt: ...
Lloyd: "Not ugly enough yet? Here, I'll help." <disfigures self>
Matt: ...
Lloyd: "Still not enough?" <contracts leprosy> <also contracts mummy rot, since mucat suddenly feels he's being unfair to people with leprosy>
Matt: ...:smalleek:...
We're all horrible people. XD
No reason you can't be both.
Hopefully this will help you guys stay on topic.

Look like everyone (except Lloyd) Is a Little Bit Racist
Uhhh the Plavaan did something to Astrid*;and that explains Janine's lack of reaction at ethan being so racist to the Plavvans
I like the idea of a Paladin who gives himself time to study other religions, it is...refreshing(?)
And I love how Loyd get the best snarks...."Shockinglly Astrid seems to dissagree as I don't seem to be fallen". pure unadultered win.

Insert Random theory about rape which wouldn't be so uncommon taking into account other mythologies
I would like to point out that Lloyd not falling doesn't mean much in a world where paladins can be considered only slightly worse than Evil dragons. (Everyone seems at least intimidated by the Kago Paladins)
Paladin of Tyranny
SpoilerPaladin of Tyranny Class Features
The paladin of tyranny has all the standard paladin class features, except as noted below.
Aura of Evil (Ex)
The power of a paladin of tyranny's aura of evil (see the detect evil spell) is equal to his paladin of tyranny level, just as with the aura of a cleric of an evil deity.
Detect Good (Sp)
At will, a paladin of tyranny can use detect good, as the spell.
Smite Good (Su)
Once per day, a paladin of tyranny may attempt to smite good with one normal melee attack. This ability is otherwise identical to the standard paladin's ability to smite evil, including increased daily uses as the paladin of tyranny gains class levels.
Deadly Touch (Su)
Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin of tyranny can cause wounds with a successful touch attack. Each day she can deal a total number of hit points of damage equal to her paladin level x her Charisma bonus. An opponent subjected to this attack can make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 paladin level + paladin's Cha modifier) to halve the damage dealt.
Alternatively, a paladin of tyranny can use any or all of this power to cure damage to undead creatures, just as an inflict wounds spell does. This power otherwise functions identically to the paladin's lay on hands ability.
Aura of Despair (Su)
Beginning at 3rd level, a paladin of tyranny radiates a malign aura that causes enemies within 10 feet of him to take a -2 penalty on all saving throws. This ability otherwise functions identically to the paladin's aura of courage class feature.
Rebuke Undead (Su)
A paladin of tyranny rebukes undead rather than turning undead.
Cause Disease (Sp)
A paladin of tyranny can inflict disease with his touch (as the contagion spell) a number of times per week that a standard paladin of her level would normally be able to remove disease.
Spellcasting
Replace the paladin's spell list with the following spell list: 1st—bane, corrupt weapon, create water, curse water, detect poison, detect undead, divine favor, doom, endure elements, inflict light wounds, magic weapon, protection from chaos, protection from good, read magic, resistance, virtue; 2nd—bull's strength, cure light wounds, darkness, delay poison, eagle's splendor, hold person, inflict moderate wounds, owl's wisdom, resist energy, undetectable alignment; 3rd—bestow curse, cure moderate wounds, deeper darkness, discern lies, dispel magic, greater magic weapon, heal mount, prayer, inflict serious wounds, magic circle against chaos/good; 4th—break enchantment, cure serious wounds, dispel chaos, dispel good, dominate person, inflict critical wounds, unholy sword.
Code of conduct
A paladin of tyranny must be of lawful evil alignment and loses all class abilities if he ever willingly commits a good act. Additionally, a paladin of tyranny's code requires that he respect authority figures as long as they have the strength to rule over the weak, act with discipline (not engaging in random slaughter, keeping firm control over those beneath his station, and so forth), help only those who help him maintain or improve his status, and punish those who challenge authority (unless, of course, such challengers prove more worthy to hold that authority).
Associates
While he may adventure with characters of any evil or neutral alignment, a paladin of tyranny will never knowingly associate with good characters unless it serves his needs, nor will he continue an association with someone who consistently offends his moral code. A paladin of tyranny may accept henchmen and followers of any alignment, but may only accept cohorts who are lawful evil
Your move :smallwink:
Evil doesn't necesarily means jerk see affably evil Warning clicking that link will cause you to loose severel hours worth of live
HA!!!! You need to make a knowledge(religion) check to recognize who is the paladin devoted to
Yeah... that is stretching it too much
Kago is a country. Paladins in Kago, known as "Paladins of Kago", are paladins of the goddess Astrid who are part of the Kagoan army. Because Astrid is a Neutral good goddess, and because these paladins are "Traditional" paladins, they have to be Lawful Good.
Awww coffee I was having so much fun:smalltongue:
Interesting though, if people are su intimidated by them (and the fact that loyd hates to be considered a Paladin of Kago) I think that they are more LAWFUL than good (I think Loyd is more Good than Lawful, as he is willing to use rules to his own convenience)
