Odd way for the party to react. I would have suggested that as DM you introduce some NPC help later (i.e another group that got stiffed by the same Rakshasa). Propose that the 2 groups work together to take this guy out. The rewards would likely be more than just what they lost. This Rakshasa...

more likely the disk shears off his legs.

I think it depends on the campaign. I have one group of players trying to tackle Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil but the idea of going in hundreds of times was old so we decided to see if they could do it in one day non-stop. They barely stop to grab loot (basically using the appraise...

I totally agree. Its very easy to get upset about innapropriate ingame play and to try to fix the problem ingame with threats and punishments. However, the only way to fix it is to stop the game by calling a break (everyone take 5, hit the washroom, have a smoke or refill your drinks). Then take...

The Llama's on to something. By starting with the things you would see and feel if you were there you can then think of what kinds of life forms or creatures would have flourished there and then what kind of ecosystem would result. Also think about whther there are features that would be ideal...

I think that need over greed means many different things to different groups. In a campaign where PCs have lots of things to do with their money like build churches and raise armies need takes on a very different definition than in a dungeonhack style campaign or a high politic style. I would...

I would think that much unlearned potential knowledge is carried around by all of us. A character may have no ranks in disable device (a trained only skill). However upon reaching 4th level and raising their intelligence not only do they gain new skill points for the level but all the stuff they...

I have a few suggestions that may also justify why its a party of 1st levels instead of just one. 1) the characters are part of a large corporation that has just been toppled by a rival or taken over by the feds. The soon to be ex-CEO issues an order to all staff to take everything not nailed...

I think treasure division is an important part of role playing and character development. It is an economy unto itself and supply and demand runs it, not made up rules. The only rules that should apply to treasure division are the rules of general play regarding fairness to other players (not...

OR it may actually be defiant. In which case it means that the player is deliberately not paying attention to things not part of his/her belief system.

Storyline is the most important thing. All actions can be justified by sufficient storyline. The Player may have wanted to be rid of the old PC yes, but that shouldn't matter. Roll with it. If the old PC was a member of a pacifist church then the new PC is quite correct in not attempting a...
