Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 6801328" data-source="post: 7495707">Good on you.  Read my edits.Oh, one more step: - Player narrates how his sorrow over his lost love is so powerful that some tiny portion of his self resists the spell, and that's why he was able to avoid helping the bad guy.The DM does the right thing in having the NPC act that way, because the NPC would look at this musclebound hero and assume he can use that strength.  So the player's originality and creativity and...yes...silliness in creating this character ended up giving the heroes a benefit without altering any of the game mechanics.  I think that's awesome, but YMMV.EDIT: And I have to re-quote this:Saelorn says stuff like that, too, and I think it's utter nonsense.  NPCs and PCs are not real people, so there's no such thing as "what they would do", and if they were real people it would be impossible to know for certain what they would do, especially in the sort of novel, unpredictable, high-stress situations heroes get themselves into.  So what you are really doing is what you want them to do.  Maybe you think you're choosing the most probable course of action, but it is your brain, influenced by all sorts of factors, many of which you are not even aware, making that decision.Me, I try to choose a course of action that will lead to the most fun, as long as it's reasonably justifiable and in-character.</blockquote>
