At that point, though, it's no longer the character I wanted to play, so there's no point in continuing to play in that game.That's not a choice I have to make. Instead, I chose to find people that enjoy the same kind of game that I like, which is what everyone should be doing. Trying to play D&D with a group of people who want different things out of the game is a recipe for disaster.Nothing I said suggests that the DM run two separate games.  One for me and one for everyone else.  Some splitting of the party, different goals, different reactions to what is happening is what I'm talking about.If my character reveres nature and its grand beasts, and the group has to kill the great white stag of the forest for the local lord, he is going to stand with the stag.  One way or another he's going to find a way to keep it alive.  He's not suddenly going to be okay with hunting down and killing that stag.If something like that is going to get my PC rendered an NPC, then I'm not going to continue to play with that DM anyway, so by all means, make him an NPC. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
