[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 897790, member: 317"] Originally posted by arbados: This is beginning to make more sense now. Arbados, feel lucky- you have yourself a genuine role-player, and one I would be proud to have in my game. His attitude towards his animal companions is noteworthy and commendable (and are NOT weak roleplaying excuses), not to mention it makes sound sense from the point of view of his character. Having heard this, I can say with almost 100% certainty that his druid being skeptical of going into melee is due to role-playing, not meta-gaming on the part of the player. You and the other players should have a chat with the player and let him know how upset some of the players are over this last action. It sounds like he might be able to use the death of the psychic warrior as a turning point in his philosophy to cooperate more with the group. If you put it like this, I'm sure he will understand. Mark Chance has some good advice here- heed it. Mistakes were made all around, not just on the part of the druid. Also, the psychic warrior made a huge mistake by not fighting defensively- assuming healing was coming immediately was a huge assumption that he shouldn't have made. Make sure all the PCs understand this, and something like this won't likely happen again. However, if the psy warrior character starts pointing fingers and screaming about "you made me die", the situation probably can't be salvaged without scrapping at least one character. [/QUOTE]
