Killing your best friend for treasure

[Nightfall]

I hate sociopath characters. Had to deal with them when I was a player so now I absolutely refuse to deal with them as a DM.

They are okay when they are on the otherside of the coin Blacky.

What do you mean by that, Sage?

The 'excuses' wouldn't interest me. If one of my players' character killed an NPC that was supposed to be a childhood friend, that PC would become evil. And I don't allow evil PCs in my games. So it would be new character time.

Have to agree with Buttercup on this one. Early in our group's history one of the PC's killed his best childhood friend, but the friend had been turned into vampire, so I'd say that's a bit different.

Blacky,

When such characters are "villians" or at least anatagonists.

I also agree with Buttercup that killing childhood friends is wrong. However killing a childhood friend that became a villian is okay.

In our group's games, we tend to not do that sort of thing (although if the player leaves his background too vague "Uh, I think his family's all dead; there was a red-haired girl he liked once. I'm hungry." he could be in for a narsty li'l surprise or 5 later on).

You just wrote my next characters background...

Evil E,

I'd hate to see how you write essays then.

Good heavens, yes. More along the lines of an act of mercy.

Cool, it's just like the treasure of the Rheingold.

So in tonight's game, a PC killed his "best friend from childhood" when said NPC (a member of local law enforcement) threatened to turn the pirate treasure they'd just found in the sewers over to the local authorities ...Is this type of behavior common? I mean, I know players don't like anyone to get between them and their treasure, but...
