The last part of the poll questions seems to have not shown up.
The missing part of the question is: "and is complementary to other peoples' RP".

I picked paladin, less to do with the paladin and more just due to the fact that thayens have so many rules in there society and as a group that it can make them extremely difficult to play in several ways, as well as limiting those near them. Sadly most thayens I have seen don't have any knowledge of these things at all...

Sadly most thayens I have seen don't have any knowledge of these things at all... I concur. I have played both a paladin and a Thayan many times, and have ironically found that it's actually harder to be a proper Thayan. That, and because the Thayans tend to be "secretive evil" rather than "mwahaha openly evil", it can be frustrating at times. |

Role playing evil when others are unwilling to let you have the chance of affecting their characters negatively in an IC manner is next to impossible to enjoy.
All rp is complimentary but you have to be willing to let both the good and bad into your character's life for many aspects to bolster your enjoyment.
The poll is skewed towards Paladins because by their nature they are not going to take you out of your comfort zone.

It's even less enjoyable for the victim of said evil if the evil's player refuses to accept the IC consequences if/when they eventually turn against his/her character. |

I would not agree with this, one of my characters has had many more interactions with Thayens, however this doesn't make them diverse. It means she ether didn't kill them then and ignored them, or she over the period of the next week killed them however many times they were willing to show there face near her. On top of this, however I would defend the effecting on characters, do some character not allow it, yes. If you wish to open another thread about this you may but for now let us keep this on subject please.  |

I think you missed my point.
Was the Thayan interaction more or less complimentary to your role play than a Paladin?
If your only objective with the Thayan is to kill or ignore her is it complimentary to your character's progression? Would it have been more complimentary to interact more with the Thayan than having the black or white kill or ignore outlook?
I thought it was entirely within context of the question that if a Paladin is supportive and helps, guides, teaches your character that it would be more complimentary to the average player (with natural tendencies to side more with good or neutrality) than coming up against a Thayan, who isn't.

Why not make an Thayan expatriate paladin. Or a paladin of Mystra who was a Red Wizard but saw the error of his ways? Hmm...*plots*

I voted Paladin myself, merely because I dont like playing the bad guy. As far as RP goes, I think that both are very much equal in RP possibilities. |

Had a fun time with a Red Wizard about a week ago. We got in a argument, truned in to a Battle between me and his knight, all ended with my [glow=green,2,300]druid, (Jack Nicknimmble)[/glow] who was the big fat winner! the whole thing was Great RP, and I had a lot much fun. As for Paladins, I played a Half-orc paladin, ( Render Blueskin) for some time, and the RP on him was awesome. But to make a choice is hard....  |
