[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7822071, member: 23751"] Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is ever actually like that. He's chosen to play a cartoon and he is responsible for his own choices. If you choose someone who is likely to die due to being played like a caricature of a person, then you are responsible when your choice gets you killed. Telling the DM it's his fault that the player has chosen badly for his PC when coming up to an in game situation dealing with "LG" is wrong. And saying that the DM can't put in situations that the PC that the player has created can't handle is like saying that A DM can't put in a high cliff if PCs can't climb or fly. I mean, God forbid that the PCs are being chased and come to that cliff and the PCs who can't climb die, because they made a choice not to be able to climb well. The DM must be a jerk for putting cliffs in the world. The world must be flat!!! It's a silly accusation to make. The only one at fault for a PC suicide is the player. He made the choice to play an insane PC who has to kill himself. He's the one making the choice to stick to it, despite it not being a part of either the alignment or the paladin class. The DM is not responsible for bad player choices. [/QUOTE]
