[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3136224, member: 149"] Ah, the lure of non-sequiturs. One of my favorite moments from Terry Pratchet's Diskworld novels is when the scheming lords of Ank-Morkpork have told one of the City Watch that he's a descendant of the king and the only response they can get out of him is "But Cmdr. Vimes, He'll go SPARE!" "Ah, but you'd be King. You could order him not to." "But Cmdr. Vimes, He'll go SPARE!" Back to the topic. Shilsen the DM for my Saturday campaign simply flat out forbids player conficts of this sort. Because you will sometimes wind up with exactly the results you got. Note, he doesn't forbid arguments and friction between players and there's been plenty between my mage and the Paladin in the party. However precisely because of his restriction it's never actually come to blows, which it probably would have, had there been no ban. Next time I would just simply tell the player that you won't permit him to take that sort of action, precisely because it will break up the party. [/QUOTE]
