[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9308939, member: 7006"] Well, in my opinion since it's the actual character that needs to be fixed, one can still do that without needing to determine who it was that caused the character to be messed up in the first place. Especially considering that more often than not if there really is such an issue, it's never going to be just one person who was responsible for the problem and had the character played badly... everyone involved will have had a hand in it. The player, the DM, and the other players will have all done various things during the game that caused this PC to ultimately not work. Thus... just fix it. Simple as that really. No harm, no foul. But if one goes searching for that [I]one[/I] person over the entire table... to me that always feels like a path towards assigning blame and not towards finding remedy. Granted... maybe I'm not giving individuals at the table enough credit... but it is what it is. To me, an entire table stepping up to share the responsibility and solving the problem as a group just feels more right than everyone pointing fingers. [/QUOTE]
