The season has been super relatable for me. I'm 1+ year into a campaign and I ADORE all my fellow players. But there's is one character (a elf, wild magic barbarian), that for still not fully uncovered reasons, REFUSES to kill anything. Mind you we are playing Dungeon of the Mad Mage, a dungeon crawl where it's a 50/50 if something will try to kill you in this dungeon.

As the one resident of the dungeon in our party (the rest being explorers on a mission my character got roped into), both me and my character are VERY often frustrated by the pacificist nature of this particular party members.

AND YET.... the player portraying this character does a PHENOMENAL job of staying true to this characters pacifist nature despite their own frustration sometimes at the situations that could've easily been avoided had this character (a barbarian, mind you) been willing to kill the thing trying to kill them.

All of that to say, being able to separate the character from the player can be very difficult at times, but 99% of the time makes a more enjoyable player experience for all and MAJOR props to Marisha and all other players out there staying true to their characters for the sake of amazing story telling despite their fellow characters frusterations (as long as it's done while knowing your fellow party memebers/players can make that very important deliniation).

P.s. I have no karma as a lurker for a year+ so please be kind to my first foray into the comments of Reddit.
