[QUOTE="RickTheFox, post: 8273325, member: 7030761"] So I came here, a guy relatively new to D&D and I seek advice to a problem I see coming and try to avoid in order to keep the game fun and running, and I get some BS about insecurities thrown in my face and I get compared to Stalin? WTF ? You guys need to realize one thing, and that is [B]my character was placed in the game at the very beginning, with DM and the rest of the party aware of his traits and accepting him. Would you blame a dragon for burning you if you spit in his eye?[/B] Would you blame DM for letting that dragon kill you? After all, it is up to DM, right - [B]"the dragon would that" explanation is all right in this case? [/B]Well you have a wizard you know is dark and vengeful and values his reputation greatly, yet the wizard was always helpful and friendly to you. And you betray him and ruin his carefully laid plans, costing him his face and tons of gold later in the game, without provocation and for no reason nor gain at all. That is not a mere insolence. That is deliberate impersonation with malicious intent to cause harm. What do you expect him to do? Especially in a world of D&D where life is relatively "cheap" by law and moral standards of the age. Part of the game is knowing your actions have consequences. I did not provoke the rogue in any way to deserve this. You are forgetting that I am reacting to what I consider deep and hurtful in-game betrayal and attack at my interests in a way that makes perfect sense roleplay-wise. If I wanted to player kill, I would. And I would not need to justify that to anyone, and I certainly would not be wasting my time here writing about it. I am literally here because as a player I do care, and I do want to avoid that. I am not seeking validation, I am seeking advice from more experienced players. I am looking for reasonable alternatives. The most reasonable suggestion was to screw it and play in a party that does not do this kind of things, which i probably will do. [/QUOTE]
