[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 5998637, member: 23935"] Yeah. Imagine a scenario where the PCs are a team, but have different priorities for the adventure. PC1's driving goal is rescuing his love. PC2 wants the BBEG dead. The PCs enter the final room. The love is caged of to the side and is being slowly (probably 5-10 rounds left) being killed. The BBEG is in the centre surrounded by guards and probably has an escape route -- he's done it before. PC1 moves away from the group towards his love. He is unwilling to risk further harm to his love and wants to break the cage. Player 2 looks at the situation and believes the love is not in imminent danger and thinks the fight is going to be hard enough to warrant all PCs immediate attention. PC2 uses Get Over there and shifts PC1 towards the flank of the BBEG. The player has PC2 say "Not yet! Deal with the bad-guy first!" Has PC1 changed his mind? Is he setting aside his tactical goal to help take down the BBEG or does the move simply delay him a round as he shifts back? What stirred him so hard he took several involuntary steps away from his goal? How does his love react to his sudden turn-about with respect to both PC1 and PC2? How will PC1 feel towards himself and towards PC2 should the love die because the combat goes too long? [/QUOTE]
