[QUOTE="Wulffolk, post: 7393012, member: 6871450"] Sorry, I didn't read all of the previous posts, so I don't know if somebody already mentioned this . . . [B]The DM failed the group at Session Zero.[/B] If you don't want PvP conflict in your group (as I certainly don't) then you need to make that clear as soon as somebody presents a character concept that can't work with other concepts in the group, whether it is a Holier-Than-Thou Paladin in a party of Tiefling Warlocks or an Elf-Hating Cleric of Gruumsh in a party with Elves. [B]One player's right to play the concept they want does not take priority over the rights of the rest of the group to enjoy their characters.[/B] That is why I ALWAYS begin with the players creating a group concept before we even consider individual roles in that group. Once the group concept is in place the players are expected to follow this rule . . . [B]Your character must fit within the group concept and have reasons to work with the other members.[/B] My advice for the OP is that the party goes their separate ways. The players in the larger group keep their characters. The players in the smaller group create new character's that can work with others, and their current characters become NPCs. Consider this a learning experience and don't let players put you in this position again. [/QUOTE]
