literally you can't do anything that makes a paladin a paladin with a charisma of 3.
you might as well have just been a lawful good fighter for all you're worth
playing a lawful good fighter who's jealous of paladins for getting divine powers and tries to outdo them all the time to prove himself to x god would be pretty rad

In addition, no soap -10/10 so far from godliness.

guess that's kind of what I am then. I've somehow managed to suffice without being an eloquent speaker, so I reckon i'll be fine as long as the werewolves don't debate me.
One of my friends wants to play a Cleric who has the ability to heal people so hard it makes them grow tumors so he can basically cancer enemies to death
what do I do about this
As hilarious as that sounds, aren't clerics supposed to be, you know, good? Tumoring someone to death seems to me like an inherently evil action.
then again I am a charisma-less paladin. Anything's possible.

I've seen a monk suplex a fucking ogre off a cliff before
seriously, they can be super powerful given the right build

Neutral/evil cleric, channel negative energy, just change how it's described.
Clerics can be evil aligned. They become necromancers essentially. At least in 3.5 they can, idk about the others.
woah shit you guys are actually posting
it's not drama either it's just regular d&d talk
I'm impressed

That's an Evil aligned priest right there.

that's basically a nurgle chaos priest in WH40k
There was a Cleric in the second run of D&D me and my friends did. He pulled us into a room in the dungeon and said "shhh the demon lord is coming." My friend decided to go to sleep for some reason, but I'm not an idiot, and so stayed awake. The cleric tried to murder both of us by silencing the room, pulling out a kitchen knife, attempting to paralyze me, and then attempting to stab my sleepy friend. Fortunately I rolled well enough to resist and set the guy on fire, then stole his stuff.

Don't know which game you are playing but if it's 3e or Pathfinder (I can't remember for 5e at the moment) Charisma is used for many of the Paladin's special abilities, not just for negotiation... in other words, it contributes directly to your ability to "beat up the evil things."
That's why a 3 charisma paladin is terrible.

I'm playing mutants and masterminds. 3 charisma is actually somewhat above the norm, but not too terribly great.

congratulations you just led everyone on quite possibly the most misleading topic ever

Alright so I think most people probably just assumed you were playing a different game (I did anyway).

Man this is why I miss 3.5
I thought that spell tree was totally rad
Required a lot of buildup, and was evil as hell, but hey you get to implant people with chestbursters made out of their own organs, what's not to love
Anyone here ever played Paranoia? It looks like fun, and my DM was thinking about setting up a game with it.
[QUOTE=elowin;46249983]jesus christ those stats what the fuck[/QUOTE]
You guys should have saw my guy I rolled in 1st edition dnd. It was like 2 years ago, but his stats were 20 Str, 20 Dex, 20 Con, 14 Int, 23 Wis (better than most deities), 14 Cha, 11 Com.
He was the boss of the party.
[editline]16th October 2014[/editline]
But that was end game stuff.

how is that even possible? isn't it 4d6 remove the smallest?
[QUOTE=lintz;46254936]how is that even possible? isn't it 4d6 remove the smallest?[/QUOTE]
Like I said that was at the end of the game, after wishing and all that. This was in 1st edition too.
I can't quite remember his beginning stats, but I think they went something like this:
18 (00) Str, 18 Dex, 12 Con, 12 Int, 16 Wis, 8 Cha, 10 Com
At least something like that. It's been a long time.

You cheeky motherfucker.
Does anyone have any tips on how to play a Lawful neutral character?
I can't think of anything besides "THIS IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL".

"Lawful" is less about law, more about order. Upholding hierarchy, following orders(to the letter, in an extreme case), and making sure no crime goes unpunished.
Think Judge Dredd.

Doesn't the Libris Mortis also have a class literally called "Cancer Mage?"
The D&D alignment system sucks and trying to think about clear interpretations of the alignments is futile.

You can take this quote to the bank
[editline]16th October 2014[/editline]
the bank of life
That is also true.
Somewhere in these 254 pages there was actually a multi-page discussion of alignments and iirc it ended with everyone agreeing that the 9 alignments are dumb.
