[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3656746, member: 1465"] Agreement between players that there will never be backstabbing, murder, betrayal or theft between party members, [B]unless the two players in question agree on the specific case[/B]. It could be seen as a kind of metagaming, but it's the best way indeed to play without problems. The PCs can still be utterly mean against the NPCs, so roleplaying their alignment is NOT hampered. Furthermore, inter-party conflict CAN still be roleplayed as long as it doesn't cause a PC's death, loss of equipment or other in-game disadvantage. PCs can even fight against each other, but for example they could do so unarmed (subdual damage), beating each other hard but without killing the other's character. Keep in mind that characters that betray each other, kill each other or steal to each other, are just not suitable to stay in a group for long. And since D&D is a group game, it means that those characters are not exactly supposed to work in D&D. You can try to, if you're playing with very experienced people, and sure it may even work, but it's certainly very hard. So better just make an agreement if you're not sure you can handle it.
