'Cause he couldn't work out who was the target!After that, the PCs were driven off Athas, anyway, long story but he asa a complete mass murdering monster, folk were **** scared of him!And in Sigil, when they got attacked by mind flayers, hunting his companion's brain (an uber intelligent Athasian wizard/cleric, best food, EVAH, for illithids!)What did they do when the capture squad threw up harmless walls of fog in the street to hide the abduction?The wizard/cleric cast Fireball and Blade Barrier into the fog, just in case someone was there!...slaughtering 63 innocent (well, innocent  of abduction anyway) denizens of Sigil!They barely avoided getting "caged" for that by breasking out of the Mercykillers gaol (in another blood bath), and had to avoid Sigil ever after.But...in the end he met up with the titan, son of Haephestus, whom they'd met in the Abyss and PO'd off big time...he'd finally caught up with them.In my campaigns, titans are *Greek Titans* 50' tall, god-like SOBs.Knowing he was gonna be scragged, even as good as he was, the evil god of slaughter in my campaigns, whom the psycho gladiator had had some odd encounters with...hint hint...offered to help him...by letting him be his avatar!So, player agress ot this...and powered by the god, he beats the titan (still nasty fight though).And the god takes him over! "Your character is now an NPC under the control of an evil god of slaughter, sorry!"Player was mad, saying "The god had said he wouldn't take him over completely!"I pointed out the god was:a) Neutral/chaoticEvil, Treacherous, WTH did he expect! He should have picked the clues I kept dropping about where his conduct was gonna lead to.b) Sure, he'd get a break once in a while. Once in a while...his character was now a murderous, immortal killing machine, which is exaclty what he said he wanted ot be! So he'd be very happy.he got his wish, tough luck! lol. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
