[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8758926, member: 67338"] yup... although the 2 players I took this name for all those years ago have moved so I nolonger have THOSE power gamers yeah all my players are DMs... the one in question this was his first campaign with me and when He started toward the assassin/gloomstalker if anything I figured he would be the biggest power gamer (or at least most proficient) at the table but he wasn't. Now don't get me wrong he was powerful but he also RPed well, I actually thought he would be a good fit. Until he chafed under this... Now they had to beat a Bard that was controlling/holding hostage a town in the mountains with Geas, charm/dominate effects and threats of force. he first asked if anyone else wanted them (even though he was only one fighting with any short swords let alone 2) and then was reluctant to take them. After 3 sessions (with not 1 speed metal attack being successful yet I might add) he went to 4th level ranger then 5th so he could take 2 attacks with speed metal every round not just gloom stalker bonus 1st round. He kept charging head first into things (he kind of was before that) as if he had a death wish, and when he charged past everyone and started a 2nd fight while 1st one was still going he died... and when the divine soul sorcerer got over and cast revivify (easting 2 attacks of op and useing full round I might add) he said his soul doesn't come back he had a new idea he wanted to bring in... the next session he insisted he come in 1 level lower then party (even though we explained over and over again we do group xp) but he did relent to being equal level as long as he could come in with no items (not no magic items, naked... no anything) He played the only Champion fighter I have ever seen played for any amount of time (Not withstanding multiclass) and was a warforged fighter covered in rust who took -4 to his dex and -2 to his con (we use array) and started with high cha and wis okay str and pitiful dex con and int... then refused to use action surge. When the campaign ended he said we were not compatable... I have a thread about it, he said "We are too much problem solvers, not role players" [/QUOTE]
