Anyway I have not just a small or even moderate problem. This guy is a huge problem. So I'm the DM of the group, Promoted to it from him because I care more about the game then he does. He even compliments me on actually using enemies strategically while keeping the game play fair and challenging. On the other hand I'm sure who's ever read the DM guide book knows this character all to well and takes no time to actually develop the story. I gave a chance for a character (NPC) to encounter the group alone. Get some story and maybe even a way out of some building or a secret to uncover, if they could pass the checks which would have been easy.What does he do? He kills the NPC, his statement? "he's a enemy saying what are you guys doing here? There for he should be killed? Now what's my XP and I loot." I hate to compare him to this but it's like he's trying to play D&D like World of Warcraft. He charges in every room and get's over every obstacle cuz he's maxed his character and and stuff his level is even to him but too much for the rest of the group. I just don't know what to do. He bursts into rooms sets off traps and doesn't care. He kills everything and I do mean everything, loots anything, Literally anything. He even stuffed a ancient table into the bag of holding saying he took it apart and put it in the bag.What's worse is no one cares but me, The group is a bunch of people that get together to have an excuse to get wasted with each other. They care about the game untill there 15th beer in (which only takes an hour) and I spend a week planning all these small details and bits of information that they don't even bother doing. They walk into a room. (I search the room, and loot. Unless someone's here. then I kill them) wash rinse and repeat. checks? nope. Investigate? nope. Communicate? nope. I'm really at a loss and I don't know what to do. Someone help, how do you show this person it's better to interact rather then what he's doing.</blockquote>
