How do you "lose" players? My table has always been full. Even when I moved to Georgia (Satan's backyard) there were people who wanted to play. Took about a month to set up a weekly game.
I know this is supposed to be a series about horrible players playing horrible people, and that even the paladin herself had tried to get the party killed at the start of the skit, but I genuinely like the detail that the paladin's player simply picks her dice, stands up, and leaves the moment the party eagerly decides to engage in PvP. There is an entire genre on UA-cam about TTRPG horror stories, and people wondering why neither the GM nor the players either banned someone or simply walked away on the spot. The paladin player knew this was going to be a That Group from the start, so she simply walked out the door on the spot. For a series about murderhobos, this is honestly a good lesson for players and GMs in general. That, and her dice were *beautiful*. Can anyone tell me which set is it?
I've played in a few campaigns- and am DMing one- where Pvp is fine- As long as it's character versus character, not player versus player. and this was cleared with the players in sessions 0. (there is one player who has been asked not to play lawful stupid clerics anymore.) one of these did go horror story, but the inter party dynamics stayed amazing enough to keep us in until the DM vs Players issue went VERY blatant. and he reacted to the 2 out of the 7 players who felt most targeted pointing out that that was exactly what they had had an out of game conversation with him about, and if it continued dropping might be the option, by first giving us the ultimatum of playing his way or actually dropping that moment. and reacted to our doing so by canceling all the games he was running for everyone.
Are they horrible players, though? They seem to be a well-functioning group to me, with very well-aligned playstyles. The main friction is with the GM. What's wrong with them being murderhobos when they all have fun doing it?
@@amaureaLua That is true, however the GM's fun is also a slice of the pie. If the GM isn't having fun, the campaign won't last very long. In an actual game, there ought to be a compromise. But this is 1 for all and it's fun to watch the GM pull his hair out over his players.

You can RP even a freaking Oath of Redemption as slightly less goody goody than usual. Paladin, as any other class, gives enough leeway to bend the RP into something that fits your table.
also if DM allows UA, Oath of Treachery (The first campaign I got to be a player in in a very long time; ever the DM, never the player; my DM let me play one, and it is kinda....funny in the best way possible. Like seriously, just a fun class to play)

The dwarves made this one for me! But the paladin was pretty awesome too. I love the frequency these are getting done now that you have decent funding!
This episode... Evandra and Antrius being sl*ts for Lorienne and kind of letting Nixie down. Evandra simply sighing and walking towards the fire like "fine..." when they find her guilty. Nixie being Nixie by burning stuff and then realising she ain't invincible. This is just gold and I think the episodes keep getint better and better. Can we have a special episode with all the guest players? Either all of them getting back together with Antrius, Evandra and Nixie or a side episode of the guest players forming a party?
OMFG! My inner fanboi is squealing. Nixie tied to a stake?!?!!? I LOVE this series. It started out awesome and has only gotten more so. I love the introduction of all these new and dynamic characters!!
Wait, did the GM honestly think adding a paladin to this probably All Evil party would be a good idea? :) (Ok, Nixie might not care, and count as Chaotic Neutral I suppose, Antrius dunno, but Evandra definitely counts as evil to me)
To be fair, I think the party's alignment runs Chaotic Stupid, not Evil. It's more of "We do whatever we want, consequences be damned." And maybe the DM thought that someone playing a paladin could be a good influence on these rapey murder hobos? This was an interesting episode, but I think the usual trope of a Lawful Stupid paladin getting in the way of the group's usual activities would have been funnier.
Fair enough on Chaotic Stupid, but all the same, I don't think this kind of group is going to work out with any kind of paladin in a long run. Maybe if they were in a minority (think Belkar in "Order of the Stick" webcomic, if you're familiar with it), or the paladin would be much more powerful than the three put together (like Miko Miyazaki in the same comic, despite all her Lawful Stupid behavior, but even then it didn't work out in a long run) and if the player was willing to stick with it, and not mix IC with OOC, as this one seemed to do, with her line of how "(Lawful Good) is the only correct moral alignment for a paladin... or really anyone to have." (implying she might not accept people playing characters of any other alignment).
remove the "probably" when you kill,pillage,steal,defile,incinerate(laughing maniacaly) ecc ecc you're evil ,dosen't matter if the player don't care the DM states a shift of allignment of the character /party.
@@Dagroth Oh, there is ONE KIND OF PALADIN who would work with this group, and maybe even be a bit on the overkill side: The Oathbreaker Paladin. This would have to be played as someone who's on a mission and is going to deem everyone opposed to them as "the enemy" and smite them. This would be a character that would even make blood thirsty Evandra say, "Slow down there, Sparky." While this episode was trying to showcase "Lawful Stupid" against the party's "Chaotic Stupid", they missed so many of the points of the LG Paladin trope.
@@jackielinde7568 This one dnd5e.wikidot.com/paladin:oathbreaker (I'm not very familiar with D&D myself, only as far as video games using it, and the aforementioned webcomic go) ? I suppose, but I was thinking paladin-y paladin, the actually good character, Knight In Shining Armor, etc.
"You know why I had to play the best game of go-fish in my life with Ethel?!" Never thought I'd hear those words strung together by a bard... or anyone.
Another amazing video guys! My favourite part was when Nixie took her hand out of the rope to point at Antrius 😆. I noticed the rain in the video, I hope people didn’t get too wet on set!
Honestly Lawful Good Paladins can be the most ruthless and evil (by modern standards) characters. They just need a suitable God for it. I once made a paladin that is basically from W40k universe Sister of Battle(though male). He was being Lawful Good by exterminating non-believers, heretics, heathens and xenos with extreme prejudice. Genocide, tomb descecration, putting whole villages to sword and fire, you name it, he done it. One thing important to remmember with this roleplay - not to derail DM too much and not trying to be in the spotlight the whole time. Strike when the time is right. For example, our party completed a quest for returning a child to the woodkeeper early on. His family were very happy and thanked us, the smiling paladin included. Then when the paladin asked to join him in prayer to thank Dauros for the safe return of the boy, they admitted that they following the Moschk religion. Party left close to dusk (day was spent questing), and on the morning they saw little smoke from the direction of the hut. Later it was revealed (when party was trialed for framed crimes at the capital of this region) that the woodkeeper and his family were brutally murdered some time near our visit to them. There were other cases as well, and the party was beginning to suspect the paladin at that point, so it was a nice scene.
Ah yes, the classic "I killed your son, but at least now you don't have to build a shoe cabinet" defense. I believe they still teach that at law school.
Okay...where have you been hiding the actress who plays 'Ethel'?? She's great! I say we get Kendall to do all the male NPC's and bring Rebecca back to do all the others from now on!!! :)
Well, how do you think lawful good works? Because the way I see it, the line seperating the two is thin at most. I like chaotic good because it lets me have a character who's morals aren't always the most sane, but who *deeply* wants to help people. Wether that's by tying up the corrupt noble taking land away, and then hanging him from his ankles in his underpants, or killing a tyrant ruler. Lawful good on the other hand, even though it technically applies to any strict code you follow, usually makes you have arbitrary limitations. A good example of chaotic good would be Tom Hardy's Venom. They kill people sure, but when they're working together, they tend to lean towards stopping evil. Wether that's by stopping exploitative companies, or killing bad aliens who want to colonize the world. Another example would be the Hulk. Hes big and angry, and highly dangerous, and kills many many people, yet he tries his best to be a good person. Lawful Good would be someone like Batman, with his code *forbidding* him from killing, however allowing him to break bones and destroy asses. Another example would be Tony Stark in civil war. Then you have the entire problem of putting characters like Spiderman, or Captain America. Points can be made in either direction.
I guess my main point was, alignment as a whole is difficult to understand, and very flawed at times. I would like to put forth the argument that most people take Chaotic Good as a way to be good, while still being able to do bad stuff. Like it's some sort of balancing act. Oh I gave gold to that orphan, therefore me killing this man is fine. Like how chaotic neutral is just chaotic evil. Another example would be how some people justify a Lawful Good paladin being xenophobic, as, oh he's following the law, so what if he hurts that tiefling, he's still in alignment!
@@silcrow4045 I'd imagine it would be something closer to: Lawful good: Tries to do the good thing within the context and spirit of the law. Cooperates with the authorities to the extent possible. Think Superman. Neutral good: Tries to do the good thing but is willing to go beyond and outside the law. Will cooperate with the authorities but may use illegal means to get a good result. Think Batman. Chaotic good: Does not give a shit about the law, only the ends. Think Punisher.
@@johanlassen6448 Even on the individual distinctions there's a spectrum. Though I don't think the Punisher would accept being called good, he knows what he's doing is fucked up and tends to hate when people idolise what he does. That being said for example I have a chaotic good character, he's chaotic good because he's willing to break the rules if its to help people. Like if he knows the system won't help, he'll go around it and will sometimes let people he should arrest go free if he thinks they're harmless. A lawful character would probably not do that. Lawful good is an interesting alignment, because some people use it to be as bad as chaotic stupid characters. What the Paladin player said at the start about lawful good being the only true alignment is kind of a red flag for that. These types, typically paladins will be completely inflexible which granted can be fun for the character to grow over time it can also just be used to justify dickish behaviour, specially to the party rogue even if they haven't done anything bad. Personally, I think the lawful good paladin that would drag the shoplifting kid to jail for stealing food to live as the most rigid example and honestly kinda lame. If I ever played a lawful good paladin, my reaction in that situation would be to pay the shopkeeper for the food. There, the law was followed and the food was paid for. Then find a way to help the kid.

The Paladin tries to kill the party and the DM is then surprised that they want to fight her !
exactly my thoughts 🤣
Paladin: "I will burn you to crisp!"
the others: "Okay fair enough, we are not lawful good... we are free and now you will die!"
Paladin: *surprised pikachu face*
@@gecko2.617 Yeah, a murderer, and arsonist, and she lets them LIVE?!?! The go fish guy was actually fine, but the other two 100% should have burned... That's on the Paladin for showing mercy to those that deserved none...
@@davidtucker9498 yup, people only see the part the paladin wanted to burn them, but not the part of why!!

That table lost more players than i ever had as DM.
They would probably have better luck with a rogue, unless said rogue was more like Robin Hood...
To be fair, a few were kicked out.
Excuse me, do you have a moment...
How do you "lose" players? My table has always been full. Even when I moved to Georgia (Satan's backyard) there were people who wanted to play. Took about a month to set up a weekly game.
@@davidbeppler3032 sometimes shit happens. I know I've had issues in the past keeping players. Adulting sucks ass at times gets in the way of fun.
I know this is supposed to be a series about horrible players playing horrible people, and that even the paladin herself had tried to get the party killed at the start of the skit, but I genuinely like the detail that the paladin's player simply picks her dice, stands up, and leaves the moment the party eagerly decides to engage in PvP.
There is an entire genre on UA-cam about TTRPG horror stories, and people wondering why neither the GM nor the players either banned someone or simply walked away on the spot. The paladin player knew this was going to be a That Group from the start, so she simply walked out the door on the spot. For a series about murderhobos, this is honestly a good lesson for players and GMs in general.
That, and her dice were *beautiful*. Can anyone tell me which set is it?
I've played in a few campaigns- and am DMing one- where Pvp is fine- As long as it's character versus character, not player versus player. and this was cleared with the players in sessions 0. (there is one player who has been asked not to play lawful stupid clerics anymore.)
one of these did go horror story, but the inter party dynamics stayed amazing enough to keep us in until the DM vs Players issue went VERY blatant. and he reacted to the 2 out of the 7 players who felt most targeted pointing out that that was exactly what they had had an out of game conversation with him about, and if it continued dropping might be the option, by first giving us the ultimatum of playing his way or actually dropping that moment. and reacted to our doing so by canceling all the games he was running for everyone.
everyone in that campaign is beautiful :3
Critcrab is hours of rpg horror stories
Are they horrible players, though? They seem to be a well-functioning group to me, with very well-aligned playstyles. The main friction is with the GM. What's wrong with them being murderhobos when they all have fun doing it?
@@amaureaLua That is true, however the GM's fun is also a slice of the pie. If the GM isn't having fun, the campaign won't last very long. In an actual game, there ought to be a compromise. But this is 1 for all and it's fun to watch the GM pull his hair out over his players.
My Neutral Good Paladin: *Sweats nervously*
My lawful evil paladin: *angry smite noises*
My Chaotic Neutral Paladin, whose deity is a Trickster God: *stealth farts and runs away cackling*
@@PickledRage Sounds like a character in a book series by Martha Carr I am reading. The character is a size-changing troll whose name is Yumfu#$ Tiberius Troll.

My lawful neutral paladin: *laughs in a confident, robotic voice.*
Ah, the downside of being Murder-Hobos when the Paladin comes around...
Apart from being absolute horrible playing partners to everyone else...
They're lucky they're all the same
When the paladin said that the reward was "being good people" I thought Nixie was going to continue smiling and just start laughing and say "Fireball" in a soft voice.
Nixie being tied at the stake and getting one arm out of the ropes simply to point at Antrius rather than try to escape...that's Nixie alright
surely they should have to roll deception for their apologies!
After the last one? Pat Percer won't let them roll for deception ever again xD
@@pyrokar1990 Yeah, some shennanigans involving lots of nat20s would occur and most likely soon everyone except the trio would find themselves standing on the stake.
Against a paladin deception never works they have divine sense
@@magetathelion5825 Sadly Divine Sense (in 5e) only lets a Paladin detect Fiends, Celestials, or Undead within 60 feet. So you could still lie to their face and they couldn't sense it.

I have to be a pedantic purist here and say that the correct phrase would be "Shame on thou". Thou is singular, Ye is plural. :) But I do agree that it's a great phrase I will have to use somehow in my next gaming session.
"You stand accused... how does thou plead?" -- All the while, the pyre is already burning. :-D
I just want all the side characters to join forces into their own party
"So it is agreed then?"
"Yes. For the good of all, we must join together and defeat those three."
"In the most painful way possible.'
"Indeed."
Atrius Evandra and nixie vs a paladin, pacifist barbarian, and cleric. Maybe bring in that firbolg as a druid and it wont be a one sided fight. Cuz we know them 3 playin with loaded dice
There was also that warlock in "Party guest" episode.
Add the warlock hope hes a healer lol
@@chrisharris6425 Why would he have to? Cleric is a healer already, and if paladins in newer editions are anything like the ones I know, they have some limited healing magic as well.
"Oh, go play fish with yourself!" seems like a thing now.
Wait, their son's name is Jimothy!? That's bloody gold!😂
Don't laugh at poor Jimothy! He'll never get to put his shoes in the shoe cabinet! XD
In Elementary School I had a friend who called me Jimothy and that was MANY years ago, odd...
Nixie is giving me the "sucks for you, im into that s**t" vibe
Well *clears throat* me too
shooting your shot on a youtube comment? Better luck next time buddy
Antrius is the best there is at what he does, and what he does is... Go Fish!
". . . . but, you where the best I ever had! "
That was the cruelest heart breaker here and it was not even made by one of the main characters.
Loved that small detail with Nixie‘s hands!
"His soul is pure". There many things wrong in that sentence...
Pure Bardic Libido?
Not giving this it's 70th like on principle.
I would love to see an episode where all the one-off party members come back to have an intervention with the main cast to stop being chaotic neutral and nixie's case chaotic evil.

The only reason it's difficult to get a paladin to join their table, is because they haven't come across an Oath of Conquest or Oathbreaker Paladin.
Well, Oathbreaker Paladin is going to quite straight road to class change into Dark Knight.
Oath of Vengeance doesn't have to be goody goody either.
You can RP even a freaking Oath of Redemption as slightly less goody goody than usual. Paladin, as any other class, gives enough leeway to bend the RP into something that fits your table.
also if DM allows UA, Oath of Treachery (The first campaign I got to be a player in in a very long time; ever the DM, never the player; my DM let me play one, and it is kinda....funny in the best way possible. Like seriously, just a fun class to play)
@@bragnir Well, Oath of redemption depends of god. If your god wants blood. Soooo Blood for the blood god, flakes for the flakes throne and so one. Still, this oath is quite straightforward and or you should comply even if it's kinda dumb or break your oath.
Most entertaining series on UA-cam atm.
Of course Nixie is excited about being set on fire. It's frankly the most adorable thing about her.
Brilliant, just brilliant
Loved the sorceress speech of defiance
Very entertaining, very funny
The dwarves were hilarious too
Just how beautiful is the palladin character design and lorienne herself is stunning! Very great costume design
Love how they tied her to the stake BEFORE the trial XD
A chained up and smiling Nixie is something that I never realized that I need, but very happy that I got ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
03:05 The fact Nixxie wasn't tied up, yet still chose to remain in place cracks me up the most
Evandra: "My alignment's lawful good too"
Me, after watching the "Murder Hobos" video: "No, it's not!"
Friend of mine: "I had 3 charas killed this year"
SL: "I lost more."
The dwarves made this one for me! But the paladin was pretty awesome too. I love the frequency these are getting done now that you have decent funding!
when a paladin work with three chaotic/ totaly baddies!
"But Go Fish is OUR game!" LOL... you guys are brilliant! Keep 'em comin'! Nice touch with Ethel the female dwarf having a beard!
"I love how you said that by the way"
Lol suck up.
She's so cool and gorgeous though. 😍
First 3 seconds: -Nicole- Nixie looked very... excited being tied up
when a lawful good paladin joins a chaotic evil campaign
Not going to lie, I kinda miss the DM being every NPC.
I'm just here to see nix tied up :p
The whole crew is normally hot, but they were really on fire this episode. I'm not sorry. 😂
The charisma of the paladdin is incredible ! * ^ *
Alsways amazing makeups and outfits in this series !
What a beautiful dwarf maiden. The fairest beard in all the lands
Yes. The beard. The beard was the only thing I was looking at. I swear!
This episode...
Evandra and Antrius being sl*ts for Lorienne and kind of letting Nixie down. Evandra simply sighing and walking towards the fire like "fine..." when they find her guilty. Nixie being Nixie by burning stuff and then realising she ain't invincible. This is just gold and I think the episodes keep getint better and better.
Can we have a special episode with all the guest players? Either all of them getting back together with Antrius, Evandra and Nixie or a side episode of the guest players forming a party?
I lose myself with the dwarf couple both of them having beards KDÇSADSÇAKADKSAL
😂 at the end with polyamory, yes. This is such a great episode!
OMFG! My inner fanboi is squealing. Nixie tied to a stake?!?!!? I LOVE this series. It started out awesome and has only gotten more so. I love the introduction of all these new and dynamic characters!!
Wait, did the GM honestly think adding a paladin to this probably All Evil party would be a good idea? :) (Ok, Nixie might not care, and count as Chaotic Neutral I suppose, Antrius dunno, but Evandra definitely counts as evil to me)
To be fair, I think the party's alignment runs Chaotic Stupid, not Evil. It's more of "We do whatever we want, consequences be damned." And maybe the DM thought that someone playing a paladin could be a good influence on these rapey murder hobos?
This was an interesting episode, but I think the usual trope of a Lawful Stupid paladin getting in the way of the group's usual activities would have been funnier.
Fair enough on Chaotic Stupid, but all the same, I don't think this kind of group is going to work out with any kind of paladin in a long run. Maybe if they were in a minority (think Belkar in "Order of the Stick" webcomic, if you're familiar with it), or the paladin would be much more powerful than the three put together (like Miko Miyazaki in the same comic, despite all her Lawful Stupid behavior, but even then it didn't work out in a long run) and if the player was willing to stick with it, and not mix IC with OOC, as this one seemed to do, with her line of how "(Lawful Good) is the only correct moral alignment for a paladin... or really anyone to have." (implying she might not accept people playing characters of any other alignment).
remove the "probably" when you kill,pillage,steal,defile,incinerate(laughing maniacaly) ecc ecc you're evil ,dosen't matter if the player don't care the DM states a shift of allignment of the character /party.
@@Dagroth Oh, there is ONE KIND OF PALADIN who would work with this group, and maybe even be a bit on the overkill side: The Oathbreaker Paladin. This would have to be played as someone who's on a mission and is going to deem everyone opposed to them as "the enemy" and smite them. This would be a character that would even make blood thirsty Evandra say, "Slow down there, Sparky."
While this episode was trying to showcase "Lawful Stupid" against the party's "Chaotic Stupid", they missed so many of the points of the LG Paladin trope.
@@jackielinde7568 This one dnd5e.wikidot.com/paladin:oathbreaker (I'm not very familiar with D&D myself, only as far as video games using it, and the aforementioned webcomic go) ? I suppose, but I was thinking paladin-y paladin, the actually good character, Knight In Shining Armor, etc.
Nixie's *gasp* at Andrius shifting to *gasp* at Evandra is peak character

"You know why I had to play the best game of go-fish in my life with Ethel?!" Never thought I'd hear those words strung together by a bard... or anyone.
Another amazing video guys! My favourite part was when Nixie took her hand out of the rope to point at Antrius 😆. I noticed the rain in the video, I hope people didn’t get too wet on set!
Oh no! Nixie was tied up AND wet 😱 How terrible!
Honestly Lawful Good Paladins can be the most ruthless and evil (by modern standards) characters. They just need a suitable God for it. I once made a paladin that is basically from W40k universe Sister of Battle(though male). He was being Lawful Good by exterminating non-believers, heretics, heathens and xenos with extreme prejudice. Genocide, tomb descecration, putting whole villages to sword and fire, you name it, he done it. One thing important to remmember with this roleplay - not to derail DM too much and not trying to be in the spotlight the whole time. Strike when the time is right. For example, our party completed a quest for returning a child to the woodkeeper early on. His family were very happy and thanked us, the smiling paladin included. Then when the paladin asked to join him in prayer to thank Dauros for the safe return of the boy, they admitted that they following the Moschk religion. Party left close to dusk (day was spent questing), and on the morning they saw little smoke from the direction of the hut. Later it was revealed (when party was trialed for framed crimes at the capital of this region) that the woodkeeper and his family were brutally murdered some time near our visit to them. There were other cases as well, and the party was beginning to suspect the paladin at that point, so it was a nice scene.
As a paladin.

Ah yes, the classic "I killed your son, but at least now you don't have to build a shoe cabinet" defense. I believe they still teach that at law school.
Beautiful costume for the Paladin!
I want to see someone join that's so chaotic evil it makes these three look like they are lawful good
I love you Nixie! ☺️
I've had a party of lawful good types exclusively once. The most spectacular case of Trolley problem solving it was! 8 full hours of moral torment...
Okay...where have you been hiding the actress who plays 'Ethel'?? She's great! I say we get Kendall to do all the male NPC's and bring Rebecca back to do all the others from now on!!! :)
Evandra just chill af walks to the pyre.
In my experience Lawful good is one of the rarest alignments for players ever. Mostly everyone wants to be chaotic good.
Well, how do you think lawful good works? Because the way I see it, the line seperating the two is thin at most.
I like chaotic good because it lets me have a character who's morals aren't always the most sane, but who *deeply* wants to help people. Wether that's by tying up the corrupt noble taking land away, and then hanging him from his ankles in his underpants, or killing a tyrant ruler.
Lawful good on the other hand, even though it technically applies to any strict code you follow, usually makes you have arbitrary limitations.
A good example of chaotic good would be Tom Hardy's Venom. They kill people sure, but when they're working together, they tend to lean towards stopping evil. Wether that's by stopping exploitative companies, or killing bad aliens who want to colonize the world. Another example would be the Hulk. Hes big and angry, and highly dangerous, and kills many many people, yet he tries his best to be a good person.
Lawful Good would be someone like Batman, with his code *forbidding* him from killing, however allowing him to break bones and destroy asses. Another example would be Tony Stark in civil war.
Then you have the entire problem of putting characters like Spiderman, or Captain America. Points can be made in either direction.
I guess my main point was, alignment as a whole is difficult to understand, and very flawed at times.
I would like to put forth the argument that most people take Chaotic Good as a way to be good, while still being able to do bad stuff. Like it's some sort of balancing act. Oh I gave gold to that orphan, therefore me killing this man is fine. Like how chaotic neutral is just chaotic evil.
Another example would be how some people justify a Lawful Good paladin being xenophobic, as, oh he's following the law, so what if he hurts that tiefling, he's still in alignment!
@@silcrow4045 I'd imagine it would be something closer to:
Lawful good: Tries to do the good thing within the context and spirit of the law. Cooperates with the authorities to the extent possible. Think Superman.
Neutral good: Tries to do the good thing but is willing to go beyond and outside the law. Will cooperate with the authorities but may use illegal means to get a good result. Think Batman.
Chaotic good: Does not give a shit about the law, only the ends. Think Punisher.
@@johanlassen6448 as i said. the distinction is varying from person to person
@@johanlassen6448 Even on the individual distinctions there's a spectrum. Though I don't think the Punisher would accept being called good, he knows what he's doing is fucked up and tends to hate when people idolise what he does.
That being said for example I have a chaotic good character, he's chaotic good because he's willing to break the rules if its to help people. Like if he knows the system won't help, he'll go around it and will sometimes let people he should arrest go free if he thinks they're harmless. A lawful character would probably not do that.
Lawful good is an interesting alignment, because some people use it to be as bad as chaotic stupid characters. What the Paladin player said at the start about lawful good being the only true alignment is kind of a red flag for that. These types, typically paladins will be completely inflexible which granted can be fun for the character to grow over time it can also just be used to justify dickish behaviour, specially to the party rogue even if they haven't done anything bad.
Personally, I think the lawful good paladin that would drag the shoplifting kid to jail for stealing food to live as the most rigid example and honestly kinda lame. If I ever played a lawful good paladin, my reaction in that situation would be to pay the shopkeeper for the food. There, the law was followed and the food was paid for. Then find a way to help the kid.
Ah... All these little D&D channels/videos bring back memories of my favorite character.
