[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5426458, member: 75065"] Umm ... I put 'Don't back Down' ... but like others have mentioned, that would depend on the character I am playing. I don't mind or take offense at situations like this as long as I'm sure the dislike between characters is in-game and hasn't spilled over into a dislike between players. I chose 'Don't Back Down' because my current character is a care free, hard to the core fighter who has no fear of death. He enjoys giving people he meets 'nicknames' and if he were to discover that a companion was irked by the use of his last name he'd enjoy some friendly ribbing. If the DM deemed he had actually managed to get a knife up to my character's throat without being able to react, I guess he'd back down at that time. He has some street wisdom. But it is not something he would let go by just like that. I think the first thing he'd do would be to start insisting that the offending ally call him exclusively by his last name because in his culture only close friends call each other on a first name basis and given that he made it perfectly clear that they are not friends then formality is called for. Of course he'd do this with a grin splitting his face from side to side. Then he'd probably add that if he doesn't respect my culture and makes me draw my hammer on him it won't be to talk about cultural differences. It would be helpful though to put the question into a slightly wider context in order to give any kind of decent response. [/QUOTE]
