In the eeeevil campaign they would probably arrange an accident with extreme prejudice, but that IS the eeeeeevil campaign after all. As DM in that situation I'd warn the PC who wants to start a serious attack on another PC that it may well be that they'll end up rolling up another character, since the current PC won't be adventuring with these guys and I'm not running a solo adventure for them any time soon!Extenuating circumstances apply - if the PC attempted a grapple to stop them, slapped them round the chops or something similar, that would be fine. But injure them badly enough that they need healing? Nope. If PCs have been adventuring together for many levels then I'll allow some more leeway, because the joint history has a chance of pulling them together again, but regarding newly joining party members - it would just stretch our suspension of disbelief too much.So IMC no XP, and that is the reason why.Cheers</blockquote>
