[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 4293221, member: 11"] This is a very simple poll. True or False: There is a point in every campaign when the PCs come to blows. I am not asking if this is true for every campaign played by everyone everywhere (we could never know and I am sure there are folks out there where this is not true for them), but rather your own games. In my own games there is always at least one time (but often a handful) where the PCs end up in conflict with each other and it comes to blows - typically it is non-lethal blows/ restraining magic - but it does happen - typically over moral disagreements regarding the handling of some issue, occasionally as a result of noble motives (like the time the dwarf in the party decided he did not want to risk the lives of his friends and tried to leave the group with an artifact that needed to be destroyed and everyone thinking his will had been taken over by the object wrestled him to the ground to take it away). On other occasions, PCs have ended up competing against each other in footlists, jousts and archery tournaments, and of course there is always the case of people being charmed/dominated. In my own experience, these fights have not led to out-of-game bitterness or PvP murder because they have always had a good in-game reason/motivation for happening - and many times they have actually led to group bonding. In fact, I often look forward to these (as long as they don't happen too often) as typically they arise from cool character-motivated RP moments. In one game I played in the party bard never gave the party wizard any respect and they ended up in a drunken brawl in the street and the rest of the part fought over whether or not to let them hash it out - the cool part was even though the wizard got his ass handed to him in the fist fight, the bard began to show him respect afterwards for standing up for himself. In my current "Second Son of a Second Son" campaign, there have been two fistfights with the party wizard (he lost both fights) because he is such a mouthy insulting jerk, and then another big scrum when there was a disagreement over the use of holy relic to heal the party. Is this something that happens in your games? How has it worked out for you? Is it something you look forward to? Poll to follow. [/QUOTE]
