To be fair, here's the rest of the party.Tiefling Assassin (Who has been the guy breaking up the fights and trying to talk reasonable middle road to us)Human Druid [used to be a fighter] (Is becoming more aware of good and evil [roleplaying a confused 16 yr old kid very well] who used to see the Paladin as her Big Sister and protector, but as the Paladin has been descending has become more and more scared of her)Orc Barbarian/Wizard (whose mostly been rping confused and wanting to stay out of it)So the rest of the party is for the most part, caught in a very awkward position. I think they agree with my character (and my character has no problem with how they've reacted) but they are seeing two friends and traveling companions trying to kill each other, and they don't know how to keep the peace.I don't know if my relatively peaceful doctor would be comfortable withholding healing from people for what is at worst agonizing neutrality. That'd feel despicable I think, to hold his resources ransom if they do not agree with him. I'll repeat, we are still having a degree of fun with this. I was grinning the whole time while arguing about the morality of this act with the Paladin. The issue is, I'm running out of ideas to prevent this from devolving to the point where we need to roll new characters, that's why I'm trying to brainstorm solutions my character can have in his back pocket for next session.I do have a few ideas for a new character if I had to make one though.We all have Bags of Holding, which is where I imagine she'll keep the vampire when she isn't using her services, to prevent daylight immolation. And I did talk to the DM (I critted vampire knowledge) and he said the only way to reverse vampirism is to kill them then raise them, which leads back to the problem of needing to kill them first. I also can't use Dispel Magic to counter their Channel Divinity effect. That's what started me thinking about posting this thread, is I figure there has to be something I hadn't thought of or seen on the magic front.There, just last night, has been talk of trying to set up a conflict resolution thing within the party, like a coin flip, to prevent this from going to a physical fight, and mediators is where I'm leaning. But, will that prevent a fight or merely divide the party further?The party will descend on me before the ranger falls, especially if I instigate a fight with no provocation. I'd be slaughtered quickly and have to fight the whole party.Also... The gnomish dieties are more about harmony and community than smiting evil in the face... So I don't know if they'd be proud of a sudden unprovoked kill. If it does come to a fight, I won't hold back til they drop, but landing that finishing blow... I don't know if he could do it. Not yet.And thank you guys for all this, it's definitely helping me work through the problems and re-analyze the situation.</blockquote>
