Currently in my 5e party one of my players has pledged themselves to 2 gods that are imprisoned in 1 body. One of the gods is lawful evil grim reaper styled dude, the other is a chaotic good mother nature life-giver god.
How would a paladin of this nature act? What would their values be?

Obligatory "5e Paladins are bound by their oath and not their god" post.

Eberron handled that as "worshipping the entire pantheon." Just choose two domains you feel are most representative of the whole and you're good.

Also, fuck Dizzy. May best waifu

>>55096440
You made six mistakes typing "Baiken"
>>
>>55099667
Baiken may get married one day, but she will never be anyone's wife
>>
>>55099667
Baiken was best waifu, now she's a "slutty balloon tits cat ears hair pirate".... thing.

Also, her gimmick is ruined to shit.

At least her voice didn't get fucked up.

Pledging to a lawful evil dog or a chaotic good dog does not mean you need share their alignment. The person could be just trying to keep both in check. Otherwise, to worship both something that is evil death-based while worshiping good life-based would be schizophrenic. One cannot side genuinely with evil and still "worship" good. The reverse too.

Take away good and evil and you can split the two in balance, as >>55100690 illustrates, but pure evil and pure good cannot be compromised on, otherwise they do not truly uphold them.

My fear is that if played like they are schizo, or that they pick both gods paths with equal frequency, or if they play it like they are bullied by the more vocal one at the time, their characters actions will be unpredictable. That is bad for the party, as they cannot be trusted or relied upon in a game which forces the PCs to be together, often working towards the same goal.

I can't see this working out well as long as good and evil are involved.

your setting is too edge lord.

Really, the only problem here is that you've explicitly labeled them as LE and CG. If they've been this way for a while, they're probably an uneasy neutral.

>>55100844
Has an unironically good point, though. You could fluff both gods as just loving their work to an unhealthy degree. Death god loves killing people, even if they could live a while longer, life god loves creating life, even cancer or invasive species. The paladin loves bringing death as much as he loves bringing life.

>>55100690
This is a great oath and you, or someone else, should develop it into a full homebrew.

this desu. The dual diety of rebirth

>Eberron handled that as "worshipping the entire pantheon."
They do, but no one worships the Sovereign Host (Good to Neutral) and the Dark Six (Evil, and that one Chaotic Neutral guy) at the same time. Certain ideals can't be reconciled.

>>55100906
Seconded. What's the point to an evil death god? The reaper should be neutral, or only good people would die. You can't even do the strictly lawful thing if you've also aligned yourself with life and life is chaotic.

Really, by creating these two gods and giving them polar opposite alignments, the GM has created a setting which states to the player that there is no common ground between life and death. And then the paladin player said "I DO BOTH LOL".

Half-right, half-wrong. Faiths of Eberron, page 12:

Using this, thanks Anon.

Interesting. I'll remember that.
>>
>>55096074
>LE
There are certain rules that should be upheld no matter what the cost. The possible hypocrisy is worth it. A hard god that punishes murderers, racists, and blasphemers specifically and ruthlessly.
>CG
In all other things, do the best you can and do all the good you can. Is that thief being beat? Is that punishment proportionate? Is killing him over bread going to make the world a better place.

Set up specific laws (real life example being murder) and a couple of situations up for interpretation (like how not speeding while everyone else is speeding might cause more accidents than just driving like everyone else).
