That reminds me! There was this one campaign I ran that the party had worked
really hard to get this dragon on their team. I mean, going on a ten-(in-game) year-long quests, large amounts of wealth, and stuff like that to get her to permanently join them (they were doing other stuff in the mean time, but that was a major part of their quest). So finally, they get her: she breathes a cone of electrically charged acid, is size huge, and has all the powers of an advanced druid and sorceress. A massive, powerful monster with an entire army of wicked things comes at the heroes, and it's only in the middle of this battle that they realize that she worships (and was a druid of) Eldath... deity of peace and patron of pacifists. Further, she'd taken a vow to do no harm to any creature, save far-realm inhabitants. You'd think after ten years (and at least triple that number play sessions) that they'd have caught on...
ANYway. So their absolutely
crushing despair was eventually mitigated by the fact that a) the opposing force heavily used pseudo-natural creatures and golems and b) she had a massive, surprisingly large (to them) number of non-violent submission spells at her disposal from both sorcery and druid lists. The other party sorcerer, as often the case, was surprised to learn there were ways to overcome a problem that didn't involve evocation. She used a ton of non-violent subduing spells, then launched herself into a viscious, unbelievibly violent frenzy against the unnatural abominations - the only creatures/things that weren't protected by her vows. They still had a huge amount of work to do, but it was a great moment.

Actually, I've been slowly building a campaign for the last few years that effectively replaces PC classes with NPC classes. And in another campaign, I'm really looking forward to eventually playing my commoner that's infected with lycanthrope!
So, what happened? How did the campaign play out?
