[QUOTE="Gazra, post: 5666818, member: 6681638"] I never suggested booting him. I suggested giving him the option: work out a compromise or choose not to play. There is a difference. I think the fighter should have responded in some way that let the Wizard know he overstepped his boundaries and it won't be tolerated. However, responding to what was a pretty innocuous move with murder is more than a little extreme. Hide his spellbook. Hit him with the flat side of your sword for sub dual damage until he is unconscious and warn him there won't be another warning. These are things that work in character and are more than appropriate. I agree with your interpretation of CN, but how does a character of CN alignment function in a group? They give up a little bit of their independence in exchange for a greater sense of security. This is why I don't see murder as an appropriate response. This is not some random person stealing from the fighter; this is a character that he has agreed to work with so that he may achieve greater success for himself. For all of CN's unpredictability, there is no reason that he would resort to something so extreme when he's already operating outside of the "individualist, first and last" mentality of CN. [/QUOTE]
