[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6708897, member: 6787650"] Maybe I have a higher opinion of nine-year-olds than you do. I find that they're mostly pretty chill, and not inclined to jealousy or negative emotions. But they're still just not as good at games, usually, as adults are. I've played with guys who would do things like blow 9th level spell slots on Chromatic Orb (*wince*). To me, he's playing at the level of a nine-year-old. If he approached me out of game and said, "Hey, could you maybe stop outshining my PC all the time? I know I'm higher level than you are but I've noticed that you always steal my kills, and it's hurting my enjoyment. Could you tone it down a bit?" my emotional response would be, "Toning it down to the level you're playing at is not something I'm interested in. I can barely tolerate being around your PC when he does things like that, despite his Int of 20. Why don't we part ways?" In fact I left that group and that guy's PC is one of the reasons why, though mostly it was DM issues. [/QUOTE]
