My current campaign I had a bad experieince with a player that showed up on the first night with his PC on loose leaf and not typed up yet. I flipped through, but because he was late, I didn't really stop and look, just saw that all the relevent parts were there. It wasn't until about a month into the campaign I found out he had "illegal" stat's (as in starting with 20's for a human). But since we were already so far into the campaign he didn't want to change them since he'd already been playing with them and they were in his relevant spell casting attribute. (sigh) I was ticxked because he new the were outr of wack and looked at it as he got one by. He also could never seem to read through the whole spell description and read all the relevent parts. Only the ones that helped him. One night after everbody left I was so steamed because I new he wasn't doing things right I asked everbody to send me their sheats so I could "brainstorm." I found some mistakes on a couple of folks sheats, wrong AC's, a wrong BAB that sort of thing. His had feats on it that weren't even allowed. he was taking feats from the PHB instead of from the Arcana Evolved book which is what we were playing. At this point, I called him on that, and started reading every single spell he cast before I let it go off. He was mad about me looking over his shoulder but he couldn't even get how the feats he had worked right either. Some people just shouldn't bother with playing a spell caster. They can't wrap their minds around how the class works, he's one of them. Nice guy normally, but I felt so used and abused by him that I was seriously considering stepping down as the DM. I didn't need the stress of dealing with that every Friday. His PC was dumped by the group though after some abuse he gave them, so now he's playing a fighter and doing much better at it. -Ashrum</blockquote>
