>A delinquent attempts to spike the Paladin's tavern drink with shrinking potion for a prank
What's the right action for the Paladin to take in response if he catches him in the act?

>>938730379 (OP)
hanging

the only good date rapist is a dead date rapist

>>938730417
It's not a date rape drug tho

>>938730379 (OP)
>make delinquent drink the potion
>put delinquent inside of urethra
>drink many pints
>????
>woof woof here comes my piss lol

>>938730545
Doesn't that seem a little...harsh?

>>938730379 (OP)
smash his skull in with a rock

>>938730677
Why?

>>938730683
Because its within the Paladin's ability to do so

>>938730834
Is it justice tho?

Alert the tavern owner,and make sure what passes for police are informed. Detain subject by force.

>>938730872
Depends on the laws of the land hes in

>>938730834
>>938730872
Holy Rock of Bashing

>>938730960
Not true, Good is Good and Evil is Evil regardless of where you are.

>>938730940
You're a Paladin, you ARE the police.

>>938731004
But Paladins are Lawful, and if you are just following the laws of the land, you're still morally in alignment.

>>938731076
They're Lawful Good. It's its own thing. You can't just be lawful as Lawful Good, you also always have to be Good too.

>>938730564
thou repenteth either thou gets the urethra again

>>938731105
Uhh no, Paladins need to be Lawful(or they used to until 5e) they still need Lawful in Pathfinder and earlier editions, but they do not need to be Lawful Good.

cockvore

>>938731119
You can't keep them small anon that's cruel

>>938731148
Okay so you're one of those bad paladins

>>938731283
Memes aside, if you're a Lawful paladin, and you kill someone within the bounds of the law, you are literally doing your job. Lawful does not mean GOOD anon. Paladins can be shitty people believe it or not.

>>938731357
Sure, but why be a Lawful but not Good paladin?

>>938731458
Because there are plenty of gods that are Lawful in nature but not good?

>>938732035
Sure but why would YOU worship them?

>>938732075
There are so many different ways to answer this question. Why does anyone do or believe in anything?
For Pathfinder Abadar is a lawful but not a good guy of cities, laws, and wealth. Plenty of ways to see value in that.

>>938732231
Okay let me clarify more

What is the personal appeal to you as a person of bashing in someone's head with a rock

>>938732301
Its what my character would do, it has nothing to do with me in real life.

>>938732368
Well what would you do then?

>>938731214
y tho

What level am I and what god am I a paladin of?

>>938733031
Level 20, choose whatever god you like the most.

>>938733064
Well, in that case, delinquents belong on a cross. Smite evil.

>>938733124
For a simple prank?

>>938733149
You don't become a level 20 paladin by tolerating delinquents.

>>938733233
No but you don't stay empowered by being cruel and giving punishments that aren't deserved. You give out the appropriate punishment for the crime.

>>938733278
Don't tell me how to play my character.

>>938730379 (OP)
interesting thread premise. must have been moved from a good board.

>>938730379 (OP)
rub the shrinking potion on his dick - with a towel of course, so it's not gay

>>938733386
That would just shrink his entire body.

>>938733364
Well, what's your answer then?

>>938733331
Well, your Paladin falls then. You lose your powers.

>>938733503
You don't even know what god I am a paladin of. Shittiest DM ever.

>>938732231
paladins have to be lawful
lawful evil, lawful good, lawful neutral, any flavor you want as long as it's one of those three

It's a prank done without a specific intent to harm. They apologise, give up any more prank materials, and then community service aiding others with chores for a month

>>938733820
Finally a sensible answer

If their diminishing attempt succeeds I'd really have a crisis over this. Otherwise I'd kind of take it as a act of hostile aggression.

>>938734084
And how would you respond if you caught them and found out what they put in your drink before you drank it?

>>938734118
I would pray to my god and then drink it. Hopefully I have some kinda a of a spell or something before I start taking pells.

>>938734189
Why drink it anyways?

>>938734218
What else does life end in?

>>938734284
I mean you could just...order another drink.

>>938734335
Your maybe say pelts instead pf pells. I made my decision.

>>938734381
I don't get what pelts has to do with this

>>938734440
Well taking pelts is a ciouliquasim about fucking hot chicks that may or may not have shaved their genititals but mostly they didn't. You'll figure it out someday when you rub you genitals to them.

>>938734499
Also, if you scalp your enemies, it, you'rell get there some day.

>>938734499
And how will drinking it help you fuck them?

>>938734675
I legitimately have no idea. I wouldn't drink it. Usually you kinda lay it out. Google how to fix is, or make a new one.

>>938730379 (OP)
Public flogging

>>938734982
Isn't that a little harsh?

>>938734850
ok
