Now the character he created was a female fighter who was from a noble family and very arrogant. The rest of us were mere commoners and she enjoyed ordering us around and making disparaging comments like we were low paid help.Now this was annoying in and unto itself because no one wants to get ordered around by a b*tch which is what this character was.To make matters worse though my character the cleric (we were all about 7th - 8th level the point when a cleric really comes into his own for power) worshipped the God of Freedom. His clergy absolutely despised nobility and quite often fought to oppose nobility and its abuse of power. Now my character was probably the most powerful character in the party and the defacto leader since he was the only one that generally made long term plans and thought out strategy in tough situations. Basically the new character and my cleric were not going to get along no matter what. So I made it very simple. My cleric told the new character that she was traveling with us at our sufferance and the next time she dared to order any of us around I would draw and quarter her then leave her for dead in the frozen wasteland we were currently traveling through.Then I told the player in question that he forgot what kind of character I was playing and that things were not going to work out. He apologized for not thinking when he created the new character and at the next session the character had a new personal background and a very different personality.Problem solved.</blockquote>
