Message: <blockquote data-quote="shilsen" data-source="post: 1320557" data-attributes="member: 198">In our latest session (yesterday), we came close to having this happen. The PCs had just been ambushed and survived a TPK due to a special one-use magic item they had, which would return their souls to their bodies. Downside to the return was that the souls ended up in the wrong bodies. So the party was standing around arguing with each other and trying to get their original equipment back, while simultaneously being asked questions by the ruler of the province they were in (who was the intended target for the ambush they stumbled into). Suddenly, the player of the dwarven mage (who had ended up in the middle-aged human cleric's body) said that he was casting a fly spell. So everybody asked him what the heck he was doing and that he should get down, and went back to the discussion. At which point he backed up till he was out of range, and dumped a fireball on the party!Justification? "I can't take being stuck in a human's body, so I'm just going to kill myself." And when he was asked why that entailed attacking everyone else, he claimed that killing himself would be too difficult, so he'd just get them to do so.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> He was promptly taken down to -9 hit points and tied up. I don't fudge, so I was quite willing to see the PC bite the dust, especially after that boneheaded move. Anyhow, he survived, and everybody managed to get back into their own bodies eventually.As a number of people have pointed out, PvP is fine in some contexts. But this kind of idiotic stuff I definitely draw the line at, and I doubt the players would be happy with PCs killing each other for any reason. So I'm going to have to lay down the law next session  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /></blockquote>
