[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2972835, member: 4134"] That reminds me. We had one incident that could fit the bill: We were a party of about 6 people. We were touring around the landscape when we saw about half a dozen enemies - I think it were some minor draconians. The wizard and the sorcerer/dragon disciple decide to throw a fireball each, and the dacos were toast. After the DM said they would get x-amount XP each, I asked whether it wouldn't be fairer all around if all party members shared in on the XP, since we're traveling as a team. While we hadn't dealt any damage, we are there to protect the spellcasters - and if it's going to be like that, that you get XP only if you dealt damage, I'd like to roll init to see if I can't drop one of the enemies with an arrow before the spellcasters started to torch'em. Everyone agreed: The DM agreed, the other players agreed, the wizard agreed. But the Dragon Disciple's player didn't. He threw a fit like a child because now he got less XP. He then startet to have his character talk bad about my character, to another PC. I rolled a listen check (ninja character, ranks in listen, wisdom - means good ears) and said that I probably heard that. He then threw another fit and said that I can't just roll dice without the DMs permission. The DM then said that I hadn't heard it. The guy stopped showing up shortly thereafter, which was just as well, since I had my old swords prepared just for him: two ninja-to with some nasty poison to shove up his butt the moment he did anything suspecious to me. That idiot could never keep player and character apart. He once played a female anti-paladin - and since this was during AD&D-times, her cha was quite high. Of course, the other evil characters would check her out all the time, and out of character we'd say things like "Anything suspicous in the area? No, than I stare at her a** some more." Then, out of the blue, his character attacked my character. Without provocation (my character never said a thing, and as he walked behind her - usual place for a wizard isn't in front, she couldn't see anything). He didn't do it after all, after several people talked him out of it, but he did sicken me (with the cause disease ability). That campaign died before I could make my move, though. I had just waited for an opportunity to finish her off. What a jerk. [/QUOTE]
