[QUOTE="GreyICE, post: 5856168, member: 6684526"] [MENTION=7178]Bug[/MENTION]i: For your first example I use something called a "brain" to determine that it's very stupid and glare at you until you stop being stupid. For the second, if the PCs did something like that, then I'd generally sit them down and hash it out. Maybe the one PC thinks he's one of the last survivors of his people because his isolated tribe died out, and the "continent spanning" dwarven empire is big, but not quite as big as the pompous propaganda of their nationalistic and jingoistic government would have you believe. Or maybe the one PC is from a different strain of dwarf with different visual characteristics, and we're wiped out partially because they were racist jerks who considered themselves the only true dwarves. Were they really, truly irreconcilable then I'd have to ask them to change the backstory (or if they stepped on important narrative points in my campaign by having too big of a scope) but its an issue I've almost never had come up. Usually the sit down is if two people have back stories that are similar in all but minor details, and that's to streamline them so they were involved in the same thing (two veterans of an enormous war, etc.).
