Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tewligan" data-source="post: 395097" data-attributes="member: 2191">No need to take offense - I'm a firm believer in the PCs paying the piper when they do something stupid.  However, if I had to find or make up a mechanic for possible results of everything they do, then the game would grind to a rather dull halt.  There aren't rules for characters getting scurvy or something if they go for weeks of living on iron rations, and there aren't rules for broken limbs or any other lingering effects if a character is slashed and pummeled to near-death with 15 pounds of pointy steel.  They shake it off, and they move on to get themselves into more trouble.I agree with you on this.  A player who wants his character to start swilling ale and rolling dice to see if he seduces "that hot barmaid chick with the big boobs" isn't going to have a place at my table for very long.  However, since Paulewaug didn't elaborate very much on the nature of his players, I'm (perhaps naively) assuming that they're mature gamers who aren't giggling like 8th-graders over the whole affair.  Maybe a romance between the two makes sense in the campaign.  So, which is it, Paul?  Is it a tasteful thing that makes sense given the characters' natures, or are they going into detail about how they go off to "do it" behind a tree while the rest of the party makes camp?  If that's the case, just have them eaten by a dire bear and be done with it.  However, if they're actually interested in character development and story, then ask the players for their input as to where this could go, and take it from there.</blockquote>
