[QUOTE="werk, post: 2766190, member: 29663"] Personally, I tend to play the character's conscience. Unless this character is chaotic evil, her conscience would have pointed out that she shouldn't desert her friends in need (evil) and would not jump onto an unknown trap thing (chaotic). If the character is chaotic evil, give them an xp bonus ;) It sounds to me like this player is too smart for their own good...trying to cheat on char gen and taking off on their own during high danger scenarios. I'd let this character fall for a while. No new character. Put that player in time-out until her character starves to death or figures out a way to save themself. I'd maybe even have a BBEG save the falling character and spar with them a little in a contest of wits or maybe make them sign a contract. If the char doesn't return for whatever reason (starves to death, or dies of thirst, won't sign the contract, can't answer the riddle) then invite the player to make a new character, but the character must be either good or lawful, and cannot be played CN/CE like the other chars. As for the dubious character gen stuff, give them enough rope to hang...don't correct it at all. [/QUOTE]
