Barb has also not figured it out because their sister marrying a bear made perfect sense to them. Bears are strong, clever creatures, who wouldn't want to marry one?
That's effectively every Oath of Redemption paladin.
This would work great if they have to do a prison break
So first of all, this is definitely a violation of the terms of your release… buuttttt… considering the alternative is a horrific death and me being stuck in here with you we’ll… bend… the rules just this once and get out of here
But theRogue still has to roll persuasion to get the Paladin to give them their weapons back at the start of every fight
Again? Seriously the list of assaults is getting ridiculous…
1 argument later…
Ok, so this is all the “same” and if I don’t ask for it back right away I don’t have to complete as much paperwork? Hmm…. Alright. Just this… wait…. last time, I mean it.
Ha! Lol. The Paladin just getting more annoyed at the paper work they'll have to do.
Add in the Rogue only being here because he's friends with the Barbarian and we're set.
Alternatively you turn it around and play it like a buddy cop movie: The straight-laced paladin screwed up and ended up breaking the law big time. He's given probation of he does some stuff for the city and the probation officer happens to be the loosest cannon in the entire force.
Cue the rogue constantly operating on "eh, it's probably going to be okay" (and getting his way because he's the actual cop) and the paladin burning half of his spell slots on curing the ulcers he's developing.
Fighter: Barbarian's fratbro drinking buddy
Wizard: Fighter's emotionally distant and verbally abusive father-figure
Monk: Wizard's even more emotionally distant and verbally abusive father-figure
Sorcerer: Monk's third ex-spouse, mostly along to look after the Fighter because he's like a little brother to her
Ranger: Sorcerer's daughter by a second marriage and also the Druid's husband (which has led to some confusing moments with the cleric)
Bard: Rogue's legal defense counsel
Bard: Rogue's legal defense counsel
Who uses West Wing style monologue as their performance skill
Whenever it rains they start speaking in Latin.
Doing another Slay and Say.
Gotta go quest to the third circle of hell to make amends in recovery
