Default Re: Can you play a paladin without being a party pooper

Well, it was more 'everyone tends to be built to the same disad limit, so thus, the Paladin doesn't usually cause any more issues than anyone else, as -X points of Paladin type disads are more or less the same level of issues as -X of other class type disads'

I generally prefer not to do the dysfunction as murder hobos, I tend to prefer characters who are properly connected to and have roles in society, just tend to be rather out of kilter with it, and tend to be powerful enough intelligent HR people can figure out how to make them productive even if their dysfunctional

A good example would be for instance 'Monk', he is fairly dysfunctional, but due to being helped out and pointed in the right direction he handily contributes, and people around him are smart enough to realize 'Hey, maybe this guy, awesome though he is, is not the right sort of awesome to go do X'
when 'X' is wildly beyond his area of skill, usually. But he has friends and people he works with and a place he fits

That make any sense?

I'll have you know that my current character is an actual pirate and not a "murder-hobo". :)

I'm having trouble parsing this, finding it nearly incoherent. Can you rephrase?

Sorry

The Problem is not caused by the Character being a Palladin but

the Character is played to stupid to live

the cause for this could be:

the Character is stupid

the character is played stupid/annoying by a Player.
this Player could be
the Player of the Palladin
or th GM
