Who knows when he'll judge me to be evil? That assumes random Joe player behind the cleric. I've been in games where the PCs rolled like the Mob: you can do anything to anyone as long as you don't mess with your own.<BR/><BR/>As a ref my only consideration would be whether the cleric violated any established precepts of his deity and whether any henchmen or hirelings witnessed the execution.<BR/><BR/>Also, somebody needs to get it in their head that the coffin is full of gold and chase the PCs around hoping to take the "loot" away.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-33185312153172291032008-09-06T22:31:00.000+03:002008-09-06T22:31:00.000+03:00as a player:1- Is executing criminals part of the ...as a player:<BR/><BR/>1- Is executing criminals part of the cleric's religious practices?

But I would have noted that the cleric had done something none-good. Eventually if this became a behaviour pattern I might enforce an alignment change. (I don't believe executions in cold blood without some sort of a trial are 'good' acts; I also don't think that Neutral Good means 'happily kills anything evil, even when defenceless'. A major part of being good is having honour, no matter whether it's Lawful, Neutral or Chaotic.)<BR/><BR/>2 - First, coffins are fucking <I>heavy</I>. Have them carry it up stairs, ramps and mountains and over all kinds of obstacles, making plenty of strength and constitution checks.<BR/><BR/>Give them obstacles that more or less have to be climbed over, and see if they can figure out ways around or over those obstacles with the burden. Preferably while being chased by hordes of shrieking goblins.noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.com
