Four'ce is not too keen on humanoids and only has loyality to his brother. To say hte least Sadiyah has a mouth on her.  I"ve asked her three times to tone down her insults to the party.  This week, the game ended with the party in the middle of a fotress. She, a weretiger, spent the entire combat taking off her leather armor.  In the forum there's an ICC going on, which represents the 30 minutes taking place as they wait for the door to appear again.  In the forum she made what I considered another harsh comment to the forged, to the forged character immediately responded with a comment as to say "your comment was unjustly harsh for someone whom saved your life".  Since the Forged brother  is there, I had him interject.  As a DM, I wanted to give Sadiyah the player a taste of her own medicine.  Read here <a href="http://www.chrystaria.com/site/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=1051#1051" target="_blank">http://www.chrystaria.com/site/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=1051#1051</a>Now, here's the problem.  She privately messages me and tells me that she understands why my character said that but she wants to attack the npc at the beginning of the game and if thats possible.  Knowing how powerful the character is I warned her that the party did just finish a harsh combat and are in the middle of a harsh fotress, but she is free to do what she wishes with an NPC.  I can handle this a few different ways.  I don't want to limit what a pc can do with an npc, but I know that this npc could easily kill her at his level, considering her limitations and the pc has the silvery tracery feat (which lets him deal regular damage to lynthropes.   )   I don't think I can talk her out of hte combat at te beginning of game. I am also fearful that the pc forged will jump into the combat, however I plan for the brother to ask his brother stay out if/when combat begins.   So I can do a few things.1. Have the forged brother kill the pc as he does not like her much anyway, (plus as a dm I think she overplays the low charisma of the character by making her annoying to everyone) .This may not take as much time as I think considering his abilties compared to hers.   2. Have the forged brother cast a sleep spell on her (which is techincally out of character considering he finds her rude, but also because the pcs are in the beginning of a fotress and he would not want to waste mps on frivielous things.  However, this would keep the character alive, be the quicker solution and perhaps the player will learn to not be so harsh to helpful pcs and npcs. 3.  Get into a time wasting subdual damage battle So what should I do?  Am I wrong to play the npc the smart way, should I hold back a bit to make the pcs happy, should I even allow it?</blockquote>
