[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7114646"] Playing another person's character without their knowledge or consent is a MASSIVE table etiquette violation, IMO. I think I can reasonably say this would apply to 90% of tables. Now, understandably it's possible for your character to die when you're not around, maybe you miss a session, the party keeps going and then someone hits the "BIG RED BUTTON" and your character just happens to be in the blast radius. Now, your DM may not have intended to have the new players fight your characters and was simply "running" your characters as passersby, but I still feel like we're missing something from this story, maybe he only took greater action with your characters when they were attacked, maybe he wasn't expecting that. You and the rest of your group need to sit down with your DM and talk about this. If the "old party" is against this and the DM and the "new party" are in favor, my advice is to split. This group isn't going to get better. The new players are going to feel empowered to abuse the old party and the DM is going to cover for them if they do. The DM is generally "in charge" at the table, but like any functioning group activity, the DM's position of power relies on the support of the players. [/QUOTE]
