| Jan 2, 2020 at 15:43 | comment | added | Steven Jackson | @user15001 I usually end up with Paladins who emphasize lawful over good. If it's the law, and convicted criminals only receive the punishment for failing to obey a lawful order, I think the majority of the paladin's encountered wouldn't have a problem with it. NPC paladins or according to lore I'm not sure, but definitely the PC paladin's I've encountered anyways. Especially if you present the alternative as "we can't safely contain them so just kill them". | |

| Mar 15, 2019 at 13:29 | comment | added | NotArch | @StevenJackson That's a very good point - and may be something good to add to the meta question about it. But mostly, while the site has a goal for how to answer something well subjectively, the community votes the way they want to vote. Upvoting answers that don't seem to provide the subjective support we ask for gives legitimacy to it when we shouldn't. Do note that when a question draws a lot of those unsupported answers it can be closed as Primarily Opinion-Based (not because of the question, but because answerers failed to follow policy.) | |
| Mar 15, 2019 at 2:53 | comment | added | Steven Jackson | Or to be more specific and relevant to this Q/A instead of "what generally makes a question subjective": what do you feel makes this question subjective? Both the top voted answers (including the accepted answer) do not cite any experience, so I feel as though I'm unfairly being held to a different standard (a feeling which has a chilling effect on my desire to contribute what I feel are objectively valid answers to objective questions in the future), but I'm trying to keep an open mind and learn how this community operates so that my future answers are considered more useful. | |
| Mar 15, 2019 at 2:46 | comment | added | Steven Jackson | @NautArch Last question: I began to ask on meta.stackechange what actually makes a question subjective, before realizing that would be a duplicate of rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3206/… (which you actually linked me). This question doesn't specifically ask for experience, the top answer does not cite any experience, and it asks "are there any mechanics which achieve <effect> that I missed", and my answer definitely provides one (deprive spellcaster of slots). | |
