Remove the Detect Evil feature

[Nightshadow]

I'd say that -is- breaking the code.. unless the characters have a history together that warrants such insults. But just walking up to Mrs. Evil and going "WHORE!" is.. well, bad. My paladin has called Father Michael a bastard, though.. and I'd say it was fairly warranted, considering the circumstances.

In a campaign setting where the evil person may well murder the paladin over calling them evil, I think detect evil is fine.  I like having it in.

Paladins are expected to be courteous and noble, in a sense. What reason they give you after they notice you're evil, and refuse to travel with you, is one thing - but how they put it is another. It is not very paladin like to start spitting on someone no matter how much they sense evil.

They do not necessarily know why it is so - did that person murder someone? Is he innately a person of greed, malicious? Is he a thief? When, where and how are not known. It is not noble in any manner or way to slander, however warning people is well in their rights.

Detect evil is fine as it is. I will agree that sometimes more responsibility and thought should go in to people's rp when using the feature, but generally there is little wrong with it.

I saw it being used the first time the other day, having always played on a server with detect evil removed... Everyone is about to go in a quest, paladin uses DE, and says I wont work with evil... then says //remove this person from the quest.... What sort of fun is that?

He should not be OOC demanding it.

Indeed not, although if it's been agreed upon IC and a character isn't coming it's appropriate to ask the person who took the quest to OOC'ly remove the PC who's not coming so they don't get XP.

This doesn't need to be discussed further, though. Paladins questing it up with evil PCs would be wrong for EFU. See threads elsewhere if you're unpersuaded, or suck it up and place your trust in the DM team's vision for the server.
