[QUOTE="Iry, post: 7568666, member: 6777378"] The player intentionally trying to kill their character without reasonable explanation is disruptive. In this case, reasonable explanation might be the pre-game conversation about retiring the character to introduce a new one, and an unreasonable explanation (by the standards of our table) would be trying to escape a polymorph without the characters knowing anything about polymorph. Depends on context, but generally that would be fine. The players are going to have a large amount of 'trust' that the slapstick is going somewhere or has some foreshadowed meaning. But they don't generally enjoy slapstick, so morale may lower if it happens repeatedly over the course of a couple months without any kind of narrative pay-off. I actually don't see where you are going with this. What I keep hearing is, "[I]It's because you dislike chocolate that you have a bad time whenever you eat chocolate.[/I]" but I could be totally misunderstanding you. [/QUOTE]
