[QUOTE="Treacherous_B, post: 3382643, member: 47524"] To be honest if a DM ever tried to prevent me from PKing a fellow party member it would probably be the last time I played under them. It all boils down to the play group, and how well each individual understands the concept of character motivation. If I'm playing a Paladin and a party member decides for a lark to throw a fireball into an orphanage, I'm not going to have my character politely ask they leave the party just because they've got the "PC glow" - I'm going to mete out justice the way I would with any other evil character, with the end of my sword. Sometimes personal character motivation outweighs the need/desire to "not be a jerk" by killing somebody else's character off. Of course with anything it's a matter of circumstance. If I catch the party thief trying to lift some coinage off my belt I'm probably not going to go for the throat. That's what subdual damage is for ;) [/QUOTE]
