[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 2469060, member: 15582"] As a GM on PKing, I've had the opposite experience. I've found that more freeform gaming only has the players turn my game into a table top deathmatch. No one focuses on the module or world as they start an arms race and wait for the earliest excuse to use their deadly abilities. If someone has "I think I am immune and can do what I want" I generally talk to them and eventually kick them out for poor role playing. As a GM on PC abandoment -- which sometimes goes hand in hand with assumed "PC immunity. I'll do that in a heartbeat. I had one fellow who "role played" his PC into being a bystander instead of introducing his character. After 30 min. of sitting at the game table with nothing to do, he was much more willing to find a motivation to hook up with the party. As a player, I'm not a fan of PKing. I'm not a min/maxer for combat and don't ususally play combat orientated characters. I've had too many combat monsters bully the rest of the party with threats of PKing anyone who doesn't see things their way. [/QUOTE]
