[QUOTE="Longspeak, post: 7922383, member: 7019284"] You have inferred incorrectly, and seem to assume I'm a terrible GM since you suggest I do things a terrible GM would do. Though in the second case it is perhaps not an entirely unreasonable inference based on what I said. 1) I said the player "wants a Yuan-Ti Pureblood." As in, she expressed a desire to make that character. So the discussion did happen before she made it. Why you'd assume otherwise, I don't know. 2) I'm not setting out to murder the character, or I wouldn't allow it in the first place. But she's playing a very rare exception among a race of irredeemably evil beings in a city already traumatized by terrible events, including one involving the aforementioned evil race. People aren't going to be bringing the character flowers and chocolates. Nearly every person in the city will fear her, and/or want to kill, capture, or interrogate her about the nefarious plans of her people in infiltrating the city. So, yeah, hope she has a backup plan. PC on PC violence won't be a problem, but whether or not they risk themslves to help the Yuan-Ti is entirely on the players' choices. So that could be an issue. But mainly, it's the city full of scared and traumatized people she has to worry about. :) [/QUOTE]
