[QUOTE="Krensus, post: 4015703, member: 59340"] I think first you have to ask yourself why the DM favors that character and hates another. Is it because of friendships/favortisms that happen outside the game, or is it because he likes the character design or personality of the character in question? Are the players he hates being uncooperative with the direction he's taking his campaign or rulings he makes at the table? It is always possible to kill another player character. But I would have strong reservations about doing so unless the DM's special treatment of them is based on things that happen over the board. Turnabout is fair play, and if the DM can treat them with favor because of things outside the game, you can do the opposite. If the reason for their favor is a cool character design or great RPing, then the players who get hated on need to examine their own play. It could be that story lines are based around this one player because he's the only one who has interesting goals he wants to accomplish or a vibrant history rich with plot. The most subtle and enduring way you can win the DM over in this situation is to make a character that THEY'RE interested in, so much so that they almost forget about that other character. Involve your backstory in their world to the point that you're an integral part of their campaign. Be cooperative and subtle in upstaging the favorite character and eventually the DM can't help but throw you a bone. This last option does with finesse what killing the player does with a sledge hammer. Murdering a PC only feeds the DM's fire and causes a lot of drama, so I'd avoid that wholeheartedly were I you. Hope this helps, Krensus [/QUOTE]
