[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 1053897, member: 424"] In a long ago campaign, I had a new individual (a friend of one of the other players) join a game in which I was a player. Dennis was his name I recall. Seemed not be a bad player at first go around. It looked like he had played the game before and was doing adequately. A bit into the game, while discussing the division of treasure from an encounter, he passes a note to the DM. The DM's eyebrows shot up and he asked me to roll for surprise. I was. Then he asked Dennis to roll to hit. Dennis hit but rolled pathetic damage against my Dwarven fighter. Initiative was called. I won and hit Dennis's human fighter back, doing alot of damage. Dennis missed his attack and when the next round came, Dennis implore me to break off my attack on his character. For the sake of party unity, I agreed. Next encounter, the SOB tried for me again. Everyone was shocked. Again, he botched the attack and I rendered him unconcious but alive. After being healed up, in the very next encounter, if the SOB did make a play for me again! This time, I was getting tired of being 'pearl harboured' and I killed his character. When asked why he did it, he said my dwarf character had a magic item he wanted and he was going to get it. He created a new character - a thief this time. New character, new start. I am not the grudging type. In the very first encounter, his thief tries to backstab me. Everyone is getting pissed at him. His takes issue with my killing of the his thief (in self defence) and crys the blues that he was just playing his character's personality and alignment. In response, I stated that I was just roleplaying my character. Once again, the magic item I had was the reason for his attack on my character. Enter character number 3 - a wizard. First encounter, the wizard tried to charm me and I make the save. The other players and myself cannot believe. The wizard now resorts to lethal spells against me and my character kill him for his audacity and stupidity. The guy is really crying the blues, saying that I have it in for him. The DM and the other players give him a strong warning about his conduct. Enter character number 4 - a LG cleric. I tell the guy to play nice and there will not be a problem. Second encounter, the cleric acts against alignment and reason and attacks me. And dies as a consequence - killed by yours truly. He starts rolling up another character and says in an off-hand fashion 'Sooner or later, your luck is going to break'. I had enough. I state in no uncertain terms that I will kill his next character on sight - no questions asked if he persists with his childish behavior. He says he will behave. The DM tells him this is his last chance. Long story short - the idiot tried me yet again. This time he waited awhile until we were in serious encounter and I was engaged by several foes and down some hitpoints. Then he showed his true colors and did an ambush attack on me. Character no.5 joined characters 1 thru 4 in the dead pile. The DM booted his arse to the curb. And the story doesn't end there. A year later, during a local con, individuals advanced to a second stage and were assigned to groups for the final. I had the misfortune of getting him assigned to the group. The bastard tried to kill me during the final for absolutely no reason. And got killed in return. I called for the head judge and he was kicked, and another player subbed in. That was some 15 odd years ago and to this day, I don't know why this guy seemed to have a real 'hate-on' for me. [/QUOTE]
