Message: <blockquote data-quote="Midknightsun" data-source="post: 6497764" data-attributes="member: 46459">I have one player who in 5 years of playing (and she's been playing longer than I've known her) still can't navigate her way around a character sheet, doesn't know any of her bonuses or most of her abilities, and often requires me to basically give her the answers (which I can figure out in my head in about 10 seconds).  Sadly, she plays almost the exact same character every time. . .and another player who is only marginally better.  Please at least know your own character, for the love!Which ties in to my general dislike for people who don't know their character's own abilities and the grinding halt it puts on combat rounds.  After a level or two, even as a newbie, you should be able to figure it out.  That's all I ask.I used to have a player who would kill any capable (character leveled) NPC he came across because he didn't want them turning on the party at a later date. He admitted that as a DM he often used this tactic on his players, so he expected everyone else to as well.Stealing from the party is a big no-no, thief or not.  I always make this announcement at the beginning of a campaign.  Nothing ticks people off more than having their character's stuff taken away because "I'm a thief and I'd totally do that".  Well, you are in a party of murderhobos, and they would totally gank you if you do.  And they will find out eventually, at which point the player may get ganked as well.Kender- because I have yet to see one who wasn't a klepto without any sense of self-preservationDrow- sometimes.  I don't mind them in general, but anyone who makes Drizz't clones or wants to be his nephew or niece gets a big eye-roll from me.  Usually because it comes with expectations like, "Can I adapt to the sunlight since I've been above ground for a while?". . . . grrrrr.Characters who expect that, because they have the gold, anything should be available to them in any town with an outhouse and hitching post.  Why yes, these poor dirt farmers totally stock magic plate armor.  They make great scarecrows <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />Players who need to be some special different race all the time, and then still act basically like humans in funny suits.</blockquote>
