Now what caused me to ask this question is me giving up playing a class I have never played before, A Kobold paladin, one that I was actually really wanting to play and actually started speaking a bit for once as, shouting challenges to demons, blessing fields being a paladin of the Ancients, burying the dead, Bringing what cheer I could (well was going to anyway but I chose to play a fighter after the second session after the DM pulled me to the side and asked if I was ok mentally, to which I replied "I think I can't handle playing a paladin" since I didn't know how to concretely answer).
Sounds like you were roleplaying to me....
