A lot of groups would rather have the DM step in and go "hey, this is not a good idea and you're going to ruin the fun for everybody", than having to sort it out in character with a possible fight, and the backlash of that player now refusing to play with the people who killed their character. | |

I really hope not. I guess I assumed there was already a session zero - Bayonetta has altered the deal. | |
| Nov 29, 2018 at 13:17 | comment | added | resnet | Agree with @Theik. Definitely have a conversation with the whole party out of character first. You shouldn't let one player's ambition ruin the fun for everyone. If people are on board, that's a different story and gomad answer might well be suited | |
| Nov 29, 2018 at 12:53 | comment | added | Theik | This answer should come with a warning that this style of play is not for everybody, honestly. A lot of parties have rules on interparty PvP. Allowing this kind of thing unless the rest of the players somehow stop him can easily kill the party and the game when in-character disputes turn into real life arguments about not letting Bayonetta-wannebe have his fun. | |
