Message: <blockquote data-quote="buzzard" data-source="post: 898665" data-attributes="member: 3003">This is a two edged sword. If I were in a party and a member was more concerned with avoiding ANY damage rather than keeping someone alive, I would not keep him in the party. That's role playing as well. So the DM has to force the party to appreciate the Druid. He has to cater to the way in which the guy isn't a team player? Rubbish. The simple solution is apparent. The other party members role play abandoning the Druid somewhere. He is a selfish git and has no business asking people to do his dirty work for him. You did read the post about the Druid having the party go on missions which were in his interest right?The Druid has every right to play his character as he wishes. However the rest of the party should damn well enforce the consequences of his actions. All of the rubbish about the druid being a 'true roleplayer' is making me queasy.  I left my hip waders at home so stop adding to the pile. Anyone who has been slamming the Psychic Warrior should re-read the posts by arbados. He and the Devoted Defender were holding the enemy back so they couldn't get swarmed and have the rear echelon get wiped out. He did not have an option to retreat. Fighting defensively does very little(+2 AC woo hoo!). It is possible that total defense might have worked, but even that can be questionable depending on the opposition. Of course all of this blaming the PW for such things smacks of blaming the victim. He was doing his job. He was counting on another party member to do his job. Only one of them came up short. If I were in that party, I'd ditch the Druid like skunked beer. buzzard</blockquote>
