[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6497150, member: 29398"] Absolutely agreed. Disagree. Flat DM veto is poor form in my view, though a quick chat with the player to make sure she knows what she's doing (and is aware the party might sooner or later kill off her new PC) is often in order. If the player-in-character can convince the party to take in the new recruit then the party can deal with it later, if problems ever arise. And if problems don't arise, then so what? An example. A very long time ago one of my players brought in a "Fighter" (actually an Assassin) as a PC. For some reason the party took him in and he ran with them for ages. A few years later when the rest of the players-in-character found out his real class he had become the longest-serving member of the party - and he hadn't killed any other party members to do so! They kept him, and to some extent built the party around him; and to this day his career (in terms of number of adventures done) is and remains the longest any of us have seen. It seems odd to me that some of you would have vetoed this character at roll-up. Lan-"perhaps fortunately, few if any in our crew like playing Paladins"-efan [/QUOTE]
