In my current campaign we had someone who was problematic and extremely confrontational with just about everyone but me including the DM. But after he had his character threaten to kill other PCs over our agreement to do donate half of everyone’s income to our party finances so that we could make sure that everyone got powerful loot and sufficient items he was booted immediately before it became a major problem and we replaced him with a much nicer and better team player ranger.

The Paladin wanted to kill the cultist via torture, but the DM apparently saw it would cause a problem between the players and decided to do it himself (via the mother). And as the OP said, the DM was told by multiple people that Paladin's behavior was bad and he just ignored them and hand-waved it. If the DM wanted a better ending, the cultist would be sent to a (prison) dungeon and interrogated there before being sentenced to death (which would be the lawful good ending). Also, don't forget that Paladin later chopped arms and legs off of dead bodies. Not, "asked," meaning the DM didn't tell him no. Okay, so the mother was the one who killed the prisoner off. But the DM didn't try to reduce or eliminate the Paladin's bad behavior before or after that and straight up ignored the other players.

I'd say that even on humans or other non-undead it can be at least morally acceptable within the realms of the setting. I mean, in Fallout New Vegas, President Kimball (before becoming president) actually put Raiders' heads on pikes when he went around and tried securing NCR territory. Raiders are actual human garbage who are so morally reprehensible that even the Legion sees them as a nuisance to be dealt with. Yes, Kimball was an incompetent president, but I think his actions against the Raiders in New California were fine because Raiders were generally accepted as being downright monsters. Even in my own post-apocalyptic campaign (not Fallout) a group of players burned bodies on a pyre as a warning to raiders that kept stealing their crops and killing livestock. These raiders also had killed friendly NPCs and attacked 2 party members but they escaped. So even in that scenario I think it was justified. They didn't even WANT to just go goblin mode and slaughter the rest of the raider gang. They just wanted to send a message and be left alone. So yeah, there IS actual nuance to body mutilation, believe it or not. Not everything is black and white.

Mutilating corpses was, during the middle ages, pretty much expected if you were dealing with brigands or religious/cultural enemies, as was horrific torture. Impaling, drawing and quartering. All the bad things you can think of, they did, all across the world. They threw bodies up on posts, and the sides of city walls, allowing them to be eaten by animals. It was a deterrent, and if you were in a position of protecting people, or maintaining order, you would be expected to do these types of things on occasion. The Ottoman sultan was stopped from invading Wallachia by Vlad the Impaler. How? Vlad impaled an entire village of his own people who were disloyal, and the Sultan thought it was an artistic masterpiece. He went home in admiration. The idea that dead bodies are somehow sacred is a fairly modern invention, outside of general peasant superstition and belief. Below Paris are catacombs with skulls all stacked in one area, and femurs another. The skulls are often missing teeth for no other reason than monks tending the bodies pried them out to make dentures, and then sold them. Theologically, a dead body was not sacred to Christians, except for the need to have it interred on holy grounds. If someone important died a long way from home, they would actually chop the body up and send back only the bones for burial. You see this type of things in TTRPG's. Depending on the DM, and how gritty and realistic they want the world to be, you may very well find it's the norm in a D&D campaign.

Gary Gygax, the creator of D&D himself, and the alignment system, was quite clear that justice could be extraordinarily brutal, and that the Lawful Good path was to perform these brutal deeds, while a Neutral Good character would be inclined to be more merciful. To that end, he even brought up an old Medieval law as to what to do with a rapist, or murderer of women. The punishment was dismemberment, and then public display of the perpetrators dismembered body. That's how people protected society in those days. He even said that, given what a Paladin is, they should have the legal authority to be judge, jury, and executioner in a campaign.

We're your audience and all, but I feel that the majority of this community is super chill and you shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself to make videos if it's causing you to feel strife in your day-to-day. Take care of yourself dude!

I imagine the ogre planting the paladin like an idiot tree idiot with that natural 20

Ah, I see he wanted to do a Tiberius Stormwind archetype

Hope you're feeling better 🦀 love your channel

I don't know too much about DND, but for some reason I'm hooked on these stories & channel

I think a Lawful Evil Paladin/Cleric could definitely be a fun character to run if played properly. Basically just take inspiration from Crusaders/Inquisitors and obsessively pursue what your characters twisted mind is righteous... however it would have to be roleplay heavy and done by a player who understands they are not a hero

We love you crab king! Take care of yourself and stay happy, beloved narrator! ❤🦀 👑

Hopefully everything is alright with you Crab King. I love your videos and they usually help start my day. I listen to you when I get up and I'm getting ready for work. I don't want to sound like I'm pressuring you. I just want you to know that your videos are my favorite way to start my day. Hope all is well.

I think this is the first time I've ever exclaimed "WHAT THE FUCK?" listening to you narrate these stories

Thank you Crit Crab!!! I have a really tough entrance exam today, and this is just what I needed to chill.

Take care of yourself critcrab. You’re a content CREATOR not content MINE. We come here for you not just the dnd videos. Do what you enjoy even if it has a monetization slope at first you being happy and passionate will bring back that revenue.

9:23 The only defense I can give to corpse dismemberment is if you're doing it to legitimately prevent bodies from becoming undead, which may or may not have been possible depending on the god that cult was attached to. That said, honest question: at what point does damaging a corpse become desecration? Cremation destroys the body, while a sky burial requires corpses be dismembered to make it easier for the vultures to eat it quicker. I'm legitimately curious because I'm thinking of creating an Oath of Conquest paladin, and the lawful alignment seems to validly skate on just this side of chaotic based on the god you serve.

To your first question I think that depends on the campaign setting and its prevalent benefits about how to respect the remains of the deceased. If cremation is considered grossly blasphemous, then you’d need some proportionate reason to cremate a body like, to prevent it from being possessed by an undead. To your second I think all paladins have a lawful bent and for a conquest Paladins this means doing what is necessary to extend the domain and following of the god they worship. You may have to do things that are chaotic, but the conquest Paladin’s goal is to create order and structure. Douse the flame of hope.

Loving the content, thanks for another vid

Psycho paladins make a GREAT antagonist, key word _antagonist._

feel better, king crab!

Glad to see you out of your bed! Lovely video! :D

The concept of a violent Paladin/Cleric is not a problem at all because there are oaths and deitys which allow it. But this? His roleplay, his actions and his explanation? No, nonono, simply no, this man does not deserve to play any campaign at all. He and the dm are walking red flags.

Rest and feel better soon, CritCrab.

Wow paladin is one sad individual, meet his sort before this is why i write out what i expect from players and have them sign a contract (with some stupid stuff to catch people who rush through and just sign everything), i will talk to such player and inform them about their conduct and you have three strikes and your out - Great video as always crab king :3 come back when you feel better

The idea of a villain who does wicked things but then justifies their actions by claiming righteousness is one of the reasons why Joseph Seed is such a great villain. Too bad the Paladin was just a bad player

I'm playing a paladin of devotion in an upcoming campaign I joined, and I am going to make sure that I don't play like this paladin. I'm playing this Saturday for session 1, and we set up boundaries and such session 0 last Saturday, so there shouldn't be any horror stories from me.

Hey, I’d rather see something once in a while than nothing at all. Many hugs to you and hoping a bolt of extreme inspiration when the time is right!

When it comes to bannable things you can say about Covid/Vaccines they seem like they'd be WAY more tame then what you can say about Black people lmao

Spreading misinformation about diseases and Healthcare literally kills people. Yeah, it's more tame, but still dangerous

So much love for you Mr Crab Master

"When I get up I'll kill you!" .... "I roll for coup de gras"

THIS is the way to do a sponsor plug. Bravo!

My opinion on "morally bankrupt actions" is such: I'm not gonna stop you from making said actions. Just know that, whether as a DM or as a PC...or both, I/NPC will generally respond like normal people would. If someone is being racist through their character, I see it as an opportunity to set up a situation like that Static Shock/Teen Titan's episode and have them work together to solve a problem that they can't do alone. Makes for great character development and getting someone, whether IRL or IG, to change those beliefs is always a win in my book.

Hey man hope you're doing alright and feel better soon!!!

My slow internet had to make me rethink my opinion like 3 times. I saw the thumbnail and thought someone was being taken down. Then I saw dnd and I saw you and then thought: "oh boy, what did they do this time…"

I like how you did a character analysis of the problem players character. You definitely thought about his character more than he did lol

I love content Crit Crab. Take all the time you need if you're not doing Ok. Your health is most important. We will all still be here when you feel more rejuvenated 🦀 ❤🦀

I hope you bed treats you well monsuir Crab, may you find a swift recovery

"SCHADENFREUDE! Making me feel glad that I am not YOU!"

The paladin workship SLAANESH for excess in his background for sure 😂😂😂😂 Not Even Khorne would be like that

after seeing the post on reddit myself and seeing what couldnt be said about what the guy's views are, i am in shock. this is the type of person i thought only existed in nightmares

Hope u get to feeling better critcrab

Can't stop the feeling that the Paladin is Brazillian hahahahahh Sounds like some people I had to deal with at tables

Paladins are flexible dependent on their oaths, but yes most Paladins are against torture and violence. Unless you got a war Paladin on your side, or an Oathbreaker, or any other Paladin that makes sense and aligns with their oaths, it doesn't make sense to torture and do all of this terrible crap. I do agree though, it would make a good villain. Probably a Lawful Evil Paladin in a band of mercenary adventurers.

I actually had this exact situation happen when I was playing my oathbreaker. Background in a nutshell was an "ends justify the means" chaotic good. Any and all actions are acceptable, so long as it results in less innocent deaths by the end of it. Including torture of warlords, politicians, rulers, etc. I was able to roleplay my way out of my group abhorring that notion. All of them were lawful good. Took nearly an entire session of arguing back and forth, but eventually I got them to turn a blind eye while I got the info we needed out of a captured cannibal, since everyone else in my party up to that point had tried and failed to get the location of his warband out of him using less extreme methods.

Sounds clear that the DM shares the same views as the paladin player.

I don't know if the DM feels that way completely, but the DM is definitely complacent with Paladin's ideas.

That or he has a more personal connection to the player while being apathetic to his views.

I was so hoping the old man in red robes with the pipe was Elminster

whoa new critcrab lets go!

Sooo in his eyes the quote on quote "Role Playing Game" is not about roleplaying? Seems like something someone reasonable would say.
