[QUOTE="Not a Decepticon, post: 9478455, member: 7020527"] What kind of lack of logic is this?Do you realize how silly it is to take a single incident and make it the default? It's called paranoia. If anything, I would argue a single treacherous NPC ensures we won't see another one in this campaign as no good DM just repeat their tricks. Have you considered trusting the DM sometimes? It's not the matter of trust, it's a matter of how our table divides responsibilities.
