You can't worry about pleasing everyone, that never works and in the end, just makes things worse.Now, with the making herown arrows things, do you know how long it takes to make an arrow, just one. Its almost an hour an arrow, and then you've got to test it..and that's if your almost a master. Its not just something easy to do, it requires alot of knoweldge of wood, feathers and so on. If you think she's got highenough skills, do it...but start costing her sleep, I mean, if shes up to make 12 arrows in a night...she's not sleeping. If she's not sleeping, then shes down the next day.Ok, and with the powergamer who doesn't roleplay. Get him arrested, or something, where he must talk...make him the main point of a single nights game. Then, if he doesn't get involved, the other players will see it and force him to do something...if that doesn't work out, maybe they'll ask you to get him to leave. Sorry, not all groups are for all players.and about his god....I love it when players wish to speak to their gods, or a cleric in service of theri good for a greedy puprose...if the gods not evil, SMITE THEM...rebuke their faith. Let their god get pissed..HES A GOD, he knows what the player is there. Strip him of his religion, shun him...make it so that when he's in a town, and needs healing, he can't even go to his temple or whatever, and then maybe some other temples have heard of him, and how he has no real faith.Religion is an odd thing...use it.About weapons and armor, or mixing it up so the player has no weaknesses...thats not possible. You just have to pay attention. Start keeping your own numbers on how beaten his sword, shield, armor is..and when you think its toughness, or HP is gone..tell him its broke, then make it so its hard to find replacements...let him earn it back, or pay for it out of pocket. There are plenty of things you can do to point out to the player that he needs to change. You've been nice it seems, but now your starting to wondering if its going to ruin your group...you as the DM can't let that happen.about the rules..ones you dont know two things1 dont allow them2 allow them, but if your not sure of the particulars of it, rule that you can use LOGIC  instead, house rules..and if the player don't like it say "well, you're using something I dont know, I was nice enough to allow it, so you can either get rid of it..or let me rule how I see fit."Simply put, if a player is not willing to bend, then he's got to go.</blockquote>
