If the PC cheated on Anomen...

What do you think he'd do? Especially if he were LN or CN.

If LN, he'd be really pissed, but would probably just punch a wall (or top himself).  If CN he'd probably kill the guy

He'd chuck a wobbly. :)


LN: I think first there would be disbelief, then passive-aggression, followed by accusatory brooding silence, then an eruption. He'd most likely challenge the guy to some sort of duel and if he survived, he'd wrangle with himself for a day and night about whether he should send the PC to jail. Then he wouldn't.

CN: Same, but he'd kill the guy, probably assault the PC, throw her out on the streets, and become CE.

Moral 1: Never cheat on Anomen
Moral 2: Make sure he passes his test

good point, but if it was a girl I don't think he'd mind nearly as much ;)

I don't really see Anomen forgiving the PC if he were LN.  It is a huge breach of trust.  And he is much too proud and stubborn.  I think he'd give some huge betrayal speech and leave, no matter how much he loved the PC.  No duel, because she's not worth it anymore.  And he'd be bitter regarding women the rest of his life.

Do you mean LG?  You really can't cheat on Anomen when he's LN because the relationship isn't serious at that point.  It doesn't become serious until after his test, at which point he's LG or CN.  Anyhow, for CN I can see him attacking either the PC or the other man/woman (and then either being dead or leaving the party, probably the former).   As for LG, he definitely wouldn't fight.  Harsh words would be said to the PC and the other man/woman.  If the PC reminds him of his promise to help her find Imoen/kill Irenicus then he'd probably stay, otherwise he'd probably leave the party.

Er, yes, LG.  Silly me for not thinking it out.   :-\

He would be LN for any romance conflicts.

Oops. Well, I meant LN because I have problems imagining how LN people would react, but I forgot that he and the PC can't be serious till after his test. So pretend that second sentence in my question doesn't exist.

LG: He'd become very grave and brooding, lock himself away in a room, then emerge in the morning to turn the PC and her lover in to the authorities a la Keldorn. Through the ordeal, he wouldn't look at the PC at all.

Then he'd go back to his quiet, empty house and end up becoming a brokenhearted shadow of a man who deeply distrusted women for the remaining days of his life.



Moral #3: If you plan to cheat on Anomen, at least do so when he's CN so that he can let it out.

Turn them in to the authorities? I don't think cheating on someone is a crime in Amn unless there's one or marriages involved - and in this case there wouldn't be.  Unless the person the PC cheated on him with was Keldorn :P.

I think Anomen would mind even if his girl was cheating on him with another girl. He's just that type of guy.

I bet if she does it at *just* the right time and CN Anomen found out about it in a traumatic way, that it could even possibly drive him to suicide. He would kill the other man/woman, of course, but then he might do himself in.  :o

I base this mainly on the fact that if PC does not stop CN Anomen from killing his father in time, he will indeed commit suicide. After he loses both the Order and the PC, what does he have to live for, really?

Oops, I forgot that they weren't married yet.
Well, then LG Anomen would leave in some sort of tearful depression and probably drink himself to death - becoming CN once again. That's going with the theory that he's obsessively dependent on the PC... which I'm sure he isn't.. really...

Doesn't anyone think LG Anomen could forgive her?

no.  Alignment aside, he is far too proud to forgive her.  He might want to, but he would never actually go so far as to tell her she is forgiven, it's just not in his nature.

I'm going by the theory that selfishness (keeping the PC despite everything) is a neutral trait, whereas selflessness and sacrifice in the face of the law is a good trait. He would likely convince himself that it's for the good of the PC's soul (doing penance for her crime, etc). I'm sure he'd visit her in jail. :)

Sacrifice to law is a LAWFUL trait. Anyway, he wouldn't have a case - they're not married. I don't think she'd let herself be turned over to the authorities anyway.

Nightmare pointed out later that they weren't married, which I'd forgotten. So you can ignore that part :-[

You don't have to agree with me in any case.. it's just what I personally think would happen (if they were married). I'm not saying he would be overjoyed to turn her in to the authorities (that would be lawful evi), or emotionless (that would be lawful neutral)... he would do so with great suffering and loss (lawful good, but still lawful). For Anomen, in the balance between his lawfulness and his goodness, I think lawfulness would win. He's always judged the virtue of his and other's actions by the word of the law.

And I agree that no self-respecting PC would sit meekly by as Anomen decided what to do. But I think it's what Anomen would do, if given the authority.

Indeed.  ..and I think that this is the basis for some of the shit that comes out of his mouth.

Yes, he does talk quite a hefty quantity of crap.  For example, chapter seven came around and we were making our way through Suldanesselar and he pipes up 'I am barely convinced that honour even holds a place of importance here etc etc'.  The heart of elven society!
