Our characters HATE each other, but it's fun. My character basically views the other as an expendable but useful tool. I regularly provide him healing, but I also frequently manipulate and encourage situations that put him in mortal danger. Not so much in an attempt to get him killed, but rather risky ventures that further our groups mutual cause. If he succeeds, it's usually a great benefit for us; if he fails, well, no major loss. I do have to say that if he died, I certainly wouldn't expend any resources to get him raised. And this game has gone on intermittently for 8 years.I think there are plenty of ways to get around an antitheist character in the Forgotten Realms without it coming to blows. I actually think most divine characters would just think such a person was a joke.Antitheist: "I'm going to tear down the wall of the faithless and kill the gods!"Cleric: "Hehe...yeah, you do that, Bob. Good luck!"In fact, a cleric in that situation might just stick around to watch him spectacularly fail, which is pretty much the inevitable outcome. Seriously, though, I don't think any truly devout character would feel that the antitheist is a remote threat at all. Now, if the antitheist starts to imply that he is going to try and kill the cleric, that's another story, but just general metaphysical disagreement? That's not a problem.I think most clerics of the good deities would try to convince him to rethink his ways, and would likely be merciful, hoping to show their deities goodness and convince him that his hatred of the gods is misplaced. As for neutral and evil deities, they'd probably do what I'm doing in my current campaign. Never underestimate how useful an expendable party member is. A little healing now and again is a small price to pay.</blockquote>
