[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 5611098, member: 529"] Just because an action is "in character" does not mean it is good role playing or in the best interest of the game. IMO the player of the cleric is bored and acting selfishly. I'd keep the party together and see how it plays out with all the player characters interacting. Splitting the party may seem like a solution to avoid conflict, but I think you're just delaying the inevitable and possibly missing out on some great fun. If PvP breaks out again, I would let it run its course, since it wasn't forbidden before the game started. If it gets to the point where the players (or the DM) aren't having fun because of the arguing, then get heavy handed and make the player character with the highest Charisma the leader of the group. If they don't like that, then just tell them that role playing is fine, but that you have prepared adventures for a cooperative group, and they are are making it too hard to DM. They don't have to role play that they like each other all the time, but request that they act like friends or allies for the sake of the game. And yeah, have something nasty show up that requires them to cooperate or die. Killing them all off isn't necessarily a bad thing. Players seem to want their characters to die sometimes...like kids who just have to know how far they can push their parents... [/QUOTE]
