Paladin of Tyranny and code of conduct

[jedipotter]

Ah....Bane


I guess I should start at the beginning here: A worshiper of Bane does not ''get elected mayor''. A worshiper of Bane takes over the government by whatever means they would like. They are...a tyrant. They don't care about laws, other then the laws they make. A tyrant is the law. A tyrant does not ''agree to protect the people'', he ''lets the people live so they can serve him'' and ''keeps them from harm, more or less, so they can continue to serve him''. No one summons a tyrant to a town meeting. After all, the tyrant would(should) just make public gatherings illegal. And tyrants have few 'rivals', but lots of dead enemies.

Tyrants do whatever they want, and don't care much about others. They rule through force and threats and intimidation.

So your paladin of tyranny did not act very LE. But not enough to really go for any loss of power or anything. He just sort of foolishly acted like he was a good guy for no reason. Maybe he saw a rainbow or something? He did not really violate his alignment, he just did not follow it.


The Paladin of Tyranny Code:

Code of Conduct: A paladin must be of lawful evil alignment and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits an good act.

Additionally, a paladin’s code requires that he deny and undermine legitimate authority, act with derision (lying when possible, cheating to further his cause, using poison when needed, and so forth), ignore those in need (unless they use the help for evil or chaotic ends), and support those who harm or threaten innocents.


But evil aside.....this is why PC's should not waste time being ''mayor''....
