Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gothmog" data-source="post: 895970" data-attributes="member: 317">Originally posted by Umbran: Agreed Umbran.  Some unwise decisions on the part of both parties.  However, I see the psychic warrior as more at fault since he knew he could have withdrawn, but decided to fight instead.  The druid's player only knew the psychic warrior was injured, but not how badly from the description given.  Since druids have crappy AC and would likely be cut to ribbons in melee, is was only reasonable to buff his AC before going to the front.  Its a sensible precaution, but probably one that should have been taken at the beginning of the battle.  The psychic warrior probably should have used a potion of healing if he had one, rather than rely on another member of the group to run up and heal him.I personally have no problem with this player playing his druid the way he is, primarily because it is HIS character, and trying to force him to do something he doesn't want to is wrong.  None of us know this guy- maybe he also has legitimate reasons to roleplay the druid this way.  If the druid is the only source of healing in the group, you'd think they would try to protect him more, since he is so valuable- and undoubtedly pulling his weight outside of combat healing everyone up.  But these players give him grief because he won't mix it up?  Do you want a healer or a dead druid- make up your mind.While I might characterize the druid's actions as cowardly or foolish under some circumstances, they are not wrong and he should not be punished by the DM.  Wrong is getting mad at his character and slaughtering him for role-playing and not meta-thinking.  Some intra-party tension can be a good thing, but killing or stealing from other party members isn't acceptable and is an EVIL action- and this should be punished by the DM.  My advice is the let the players sort it out on their own, and not interfere.  I know if I were in this group, I'd trust the druid more than I would those party members who would kill him for a miscalculation.</blockquote>
