[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2582066, member: 29014"] One time, I was playing in a game with a rather inexpert GM. My character was Neutral Good, and the rest of the party consisted of a paladin whose [I]player[/I] (not the character) was a little bit demented (he made a sock puppet with whom to talk) and so of little help, and the rest of the party were Lawful or Chaotic "Neutral" , by which I mean incredibly evil. So there's: Me, Neutral Good Enchanter Insane Paladin (the GM was lax and let him keep his paladinhood) (Evil) Chaotic Neutral Druid (heard that the local town supported itself with foresting, so vowed to murder them all) (Evil) Chaotic Neutral Bard (shot into melee without taking the -4, causing him to hit allies, and used Inspire Courage on the enemies, causing a hit that killed a good NPC ally) (Evil) Chaotic Neutral Rogue (When we defeated evil mooks who had a caravan of grain in a land where the peasants were starving and oppressed, he decided to burn the grain when I wanted to give it to the peasants. I then asked him to please not do that in and out of character, and he refused, saying he was playing his character. Then I Charmed him, and he said it was "against my nature" to not burn the grain, requiring an opposed Charisma check) (Maybe not Evil, but Vengeful) Lawful Neutral Fighter (Cut off the bard's hands and tongue after the Inspire Courage incident. Threatened to kill the gnome with a sword to the throat.) You may ask, "Why did you adventure with them, then, if they offended your character's moral code?" Well the GM made up some prophecy that required it. Anyways, these guys didn't trust each other to divide the treasure, and they didn't have Identify anyway, but they trusted my character because they knew she was Good. And she realised it was an evil act to support these guys with money, so my character secretly embezzled a good deal of the rest of the party's money and donated it to charities. Edit: They never figured it out until after we broke up that game for other reasons... [/QUOTE]
