[QUOTE="MonkeyDragon, post: 4129036, member: 23929"] "Listen, Bard Dude. I like you. You're a cool guy. I want you to play and have fun in our game. I want Mrs Bard Dude to play and have fun in our game. Thing is, I can't do what you want to Cleric dude. Making him less good at what he can do makes HIM have less fun, and I know you don't want to make the game less fun for anybody else. And if we want him to chip in for gas, then WE should be chipping in for vacuum bags and soda and X guys worth of stuff in the dishwasher, and we don't need to get that nitpicky cuz we're all pals. If you're not having fun, we can try to make the game more fun for you. Do you want to change characters? We can work something out. Do you want some ideas on how to make Bard a little more streamlined? No problem. I think Bard's pretty cool. He's good at what he does. You're good at running him. That thing with the clerics was no big deal. You helped that situation a lot. The only reason that Cleric Dude got a little further was cuz he rolled better, and he got a bonus because of who the people he was diploming were. In other situations, you're gonna get that bonus and he won't. If you really want to leave, I'm sorry to see you go. I want you to stay. I also want Mrs Bard Dude to stay, and I think it would kinda suck to make her choose between quitting a game cuz you do and staying if it ticks you off. Now come on. Lets go kill some bad guys and take their stuff." Best I can think of. The situation you described seems fair to me. Sometimes it seems like the bad guys are always just a little bit better than the PCs in the areas they want to shine in (especially skills) and that sucks. Part of the game. IF it's not happening all the time, I don't see the problem. Perhaps suggest that he use alter self if he knows hes gonna be dealing with bigoted people. [/QUOTE]
