D&D 5E Player vs Player Philter of Love

[Sepulchrave II]

She is also magically afflicted with a mild psychotic/paranoia madness

Ehh...

she is usually verbally abusing him when she is talking to him (worthless male half-breed).

Ehh..

she talks to him like he is a dog

Ehh..

The other player is ok with this (I think)... He is usually pretty quiet in game and mostly puts up with it.

Ehh..

So she thought of him as her true love when they bedded down. Now the next day has come and she is very confused.

Ehh...

she really had it coming.

Ehhh...

What's more unusual to me is that we don't often see characters verbally abusing each other to the extent noted in the OP until-unless they've done something noteworthy (and usually either stupid, highly unwise, or selfish/cowardly) in-game to deserve it.

Well, we sort of have the Legolas-Gimli initial relation as an example, and I've had that kind of roleplaying in some parties. Sometimes it was really "felt" by the characters, sometimes it was just teasing, but in all cases, it was character to character and the players enjoyed it quite a bit.

In particular, I had my CG Wild Archmage constantly teasing the LG priest who was very stuffy, and he bore it with incredible steadfastness.

No, rogue must be evil, doh...

if it's 3.5e and only if Orc children are detected evil by paladin.

then sequence is Divine might-charge-power attack-leap attack-any 2Hander-charging smite

We had that paladin, back in the day, called Sir Tristan Martin-Gelle, who did not like thieves going first because they were always stealing. So once or twice, when a thief tried to go in first, the paladin attacked them, then laid his hand on them to heal them. Usually, the lesson was learned...

stupid rogue,

you always let paladin 1st to scout ahead, when he falls into pit trap, then you steal everything.

After that, you give him the rope to climb out.

Yes, the paladin in general had a hard time, these were a few times where he actually came out on top...

what can your do?
But, as for 3.5e whenever paladins had hard time, usually it was their fault.
