One of my personal DM rules is that the player is NOT the character and therefore leeway should be given. I do understand that it is a roleplaying game, the crux of what I'm frustrated about, I guess, is the sheer lack of thought some people put into playing their characters.But there really does seem to be a trend in this sort of thing. Like this group I was in a few weeks ago, the one I whinged about with the smoking. Everyone there was cool except this one guy who played  Knight of the Chalice.Aside from being an ass OOC, he was also SO unknightly it wasn't funny. The worst part was, this was one of those people who ARE intelligent. I mean, credit where credit is due, he wasn't a dummy and he knew all about the HOW of knights and the history and whatnot, but most of his in game actions were contrary to the ideals of knighthood.A for instance would be where the entire party was threatened by a companion who had been acting strange for the past few months. The companion ended up attacking the party and was subdued and then we hear a demonic voice booming from the shadows telling us that the soul of the character was it's and it had come to claim it.The Knight of the Chalice... the party leader I might add... orders everyone to RUN. Now... a knight of the chalice is a prestige class dedicated to hunting and killing fiends... without any thought for his companions soul or the fact that a demon was telling us what to do, or the fact that he was a KNIGHT, he ordered us to run.My character stayed and challenged the demon on the basis that he was going to defend his companions life and soul and that he wasn't about to take orders from any hellspawn. And my character was just a measly apothecary.That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.</blockquote>
