[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 3101648, member: 9254"] IME the party is usually not of the PvP nature. I exclude cases of possession, undeath, lycanthropy, and other curses that turn the person into a PvP fiend. The one exception was a plane-hopping game with a large number of PCs. One established character had become a high priest of Lloth. A new PC was a Takhisis-worshiping Black Robe necromancer. The in-character hatred was immediate and intense. The Black Robe had a knack for getting in over his head completely at odds with the player's normal skills; he got caught in his own AE spells, he dim-doored into bad tactical positions, etc all while being mocked by the Llothian as a worshiper of a "backwater, barbarian of a god with no style." Eventually they went at it hammer and tongs. The precipitating event was when the Takhisian died (again due to his own miscalculation) and the Llothian exclaimed "Wait! I can bring him back!" And then proceded to cast Animate Dead. "See, he's all better now." "He's not talking." "He's just choked up with emotion." "His eyes are glazed." "I don't see a difference." "Why doesn't he thank you then?" "Why he will by making me a sandwich! Go my friend, go make me a sandwich!" The Llothian kept winning his fights against the Takhisian (lucky as sin, he was) and kept getting interrupted before he could sacrifice his dead foe to his Lloth. It almost became a Benny Hill episode at one point when the Llothian is carrying the Black Robe's heart around a ship cloaked in fog with multiple illusions/ghost sounds/etc adding confusion while the party tries to catch him. It was horribly funny PvP. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with it often. Oh, umm, the Llothian eventually found an artifact that promised him great power if he killed his allies. Immediate agreement followed and the party was forced to kill the Llothian. They also, uh, killed the PC who picked up the artifact because, and I quote the LG party member, "Better safe than sorry."
