That’s effectively every Oath of Redemption paladin.
So first of all, this is definitely a violation of the terms of your release… buuttttt… considering the alternative is a horrific death and me being stuck in here with you we’ll… bend… the rules just this once and get out of here
But theRogue still has to roll persuasion to get the Paladin to give them their weapons back at the start of every fight
Add in the Rogue only being here because he’s friends with the Barbarian and we’re set.
Alternatively you turn it around and play it like a buddy cop movie: The straight-laced paladin screwed up and ended up breaking the law big time. He’s given probation of he does some stuff for the city and the probation officer happens to be the loosest cannon in the entire force.
Cue the rogue constantly operating on “eh, it’s probably going to be okay” (and getting his way because he’s the actual cop) and the paladin burning half of his spell slots on curing the ulcers he’s developing.
Fighter: Barbarian’s fratbro drinking buddy
Wizard: Fighter’s emotionally distant and verbally abusive father-figure
Monk: Wizard’s even more emotionally distant and verbally abusive father-figure
Sorcerer: Monk’s third ex-spouse, mostly along to look after the Fighter because he’s like a little brother to her
Ranger: Sorcerer’s daughter by a second marriage and also the Druid’s husband (which has led to some confusing moments with the cleric)
Bard: Rogue’s legal defense counsel
Bard: Rogue’s legal defense counsel
