[QUOTE="CRG, post: 281069, member: 5867"] Indifference kills me as well. In a recent campaign where one player played the "neutral" alignment as "selfish and disinterested". Now, I was basically a supporting character role, since I wasn't going to be 100% available for the sessions. In general, I played party-supporting characters. Good of the team, rah rah rah. Neutral character, I might add, had by far the BEST attributes and HP of any of us and continued to lead the group level after level with just outstanding rolls, etc. He constantly complained about how his character was about to drop, get hurt, was inneffective, etc. Character #1. 2nd level sorcerer, 16 con (human). Had something like 13 hit points. - Party getting ass handed to it by a bunch of humanoids - Fighter types getting hurt - Need to get away - Neutral character running around claiming he's about to die because he's taken alot of damage (he's at 3rd level by the way) - We have one chance, I decide to step in at the risk of taking a SINGLE swing from the lead humanoid, after which our movement rates would allow all of us to get away - I decide to do this because the strong folks are all hurt and near death - As luck would have it, critical on the swing with a big 2h weapon dealing 25+ hit points of damage, character dead - Neutral character says "ha, that would have put me at 1 hit point" I fume.... Character #2 - Paladin abberation - Party fighting - Everyone is hurt - Neutral character is strongest PC in the party - Neutral character says he is very very hurt and can't take another hit - Neutral character runs away - Myself and one other try to carry out our dead comrades - Bad guys get one final spell in on us - a lightning bolt - Neutral player: "37 points of damage? I could have taken that even if I failed my save. I thought it would be more" - The two of us who were trying to save the party, including his freaking hireling, die Irritation. [/QUOTE]
