[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 2471788, member: 9037"] It is mainly one player who is very vocal and very strong willed. It is his playing style. He is a power gamer and what he enjoys most about the game is amassing power. For example if he plays a rogue he wants to build or take over a powerful thieves guild. As he mage he is the most powerful mage on the planet things like that. When he builds his character he knows every feat and skill he will have all the way up to 20th level. He makes long range plans for all his characters. This leads to a desire not to die or have anything derail his plans so he is super cautious about all encounters. Tries to micromanage all the game details and this leads to him trying to control the other player's character as well. With the right DM he can be controlled but our current DM feels that he can't control him that easily part of this is that the DM was new to DMing and the player already had the bit between his teeth and had run out of control in the game. And the DM is one of these people who does not want any stress in the game so he just tries to smooth the water. [/QUOTE]
