Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belbarid" data-source="post: 2572349" data-attributes="member: 28213">A couple of opinions, likely lost in an already too-lengthy thread...First of all, there will *always* be people who can never see character classes beyond the stereotypical archetype that T$R and WotC has crammed down our throats.  Sadly, sometimes, those people run games.  Fortunately, there's no law I've found that forces me to participate.Secondly, as a player who likes to play characters who differ drasticly from the norm, I can understand the desire to play a character who would actually think that the taken course of action is okay.  Keep in mind that most other players will take strong objection to this sort of behavior.Thirdly, one of my big objections to 3.0/3.5E is a seeming trend of removing "What feels right" and replacing it with "Well *this* part of the SRD says this, which could be interpreted this way compared to *that* part of this book".  Rules lawyering gets in the way.Lastly, exactly zero XP for PVP, IMO.  No mechanics backing, either.  It's a bad idea.  That being said, depending on the background of the druid, possible XP for the action.  If the intent was to play a druid so sheltered from (demi)human society as to think that attacking another person for skinning a dead wolf is okay, then the action was in character.  A character who, BTW, has a *lot* to learn, and had better speed up on the learning curve, lest a short adventuring career be in the future.If, OTOH, this was simply generi-druid leading with a sickle across the throat when somewhat offended, rather than taking a more appropriate action (like talking it out, peacably interposing between the ranger and the wolf, tribal interpretive dance...), then *much* PC-slapping would entail.  Or, assuming an inexperienced player, a long talking-to.This isn't a rules-based question, and there's no mechanic covering it.  This is definitely in the area of where the rules leave off.Plenty of flame-bait.  Assuming anyone's still paying attention to the thread.</blockquote>
