I love having him in the group and wouldn’t want him gone. BUT I do have to make sure that he doesn’t exploit the rules – which he has a perchance to try and to at times.Like I said – my group has a RP/tactician, a heavy RPer, a causal gamer and a Power-gamer.I try to make sure that they all get their fun/spotlight at least 1/every other session. As for making the powergamer the combat powerhouse – done. The Tactican player is a monk/cleric. He shield of faith & bulls’ strengths the dwarf, blesses everyone and then the group as a whole go to work. The dwarf takes on the big stiff, dealing the major damage, the scout/fighter shoots stuff that tries to get around him, the warlock/rogue blasts vicariously and the monk/cleric invariably tumble through a grapples something into a KO.They’re a good combat team with the dwarf as their centre piece and Trump card as you were. I’m just trying to avoid it getting to silly…</blockquote>
