[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 4848334, member: 55816"] If you've never seen a television show where they had to write out a character, then you haven't seen nothing... method 1: Promotion! he's now king of dragonland. Bureaucrats drag him off kicking and screaming. His NPC form shows up now and then to make encounters seem special. Method 2: He fell is love and got married! Offscreen! He moved away,with his love and, completely against character, left the party in the lurch. method 3: Reincarnation! he contracts "old" and dies, but comes back as an elven ranger. method 4: He dies off screen! Its completely bogus and no one ever mentions him again. method 5: He suddenly becomes a minion! Big bad evil guy kills him with one hit (arrow/spine/spear/fireball through the body/head is a popular one), just to scare the crap out of the party, or make them feel sad. have a skill challenge to deal with their feelings, success meaning they never have to remember him again, unless convenient. Method 6: He ascends to a higher plane of existence! Not to be confused with promotion. He becomes and angel and promises to watch over the party, and pretty much doesn't do anything ever again because that would be 'interfering'. Method 7: Goes down with the ship! or with the bridge...already mentioned. Method 8: He betrays the team! for an entirely unbelievable reason he either was evil all along, or was forced by/confused by/asked in passing by evil to be a traitor. He must either die or go to jail and wear mittens. ahhh television, you handle actors wanting out so gracefully..... [/QUOTE]
