You could solve this several ways.1. Ask the player to retire the PC. His dominating ways are making it difficult for the group.2. Cut him out by having NPCs refuse to talk to him.  If NPCs hire the PCs, have the NPC fire the Barbarian/Rogue at the first sign of a problem. "You don't want to get paid, do you? You're fired. I've heard of you and I don't need your trouble-making." Have other good NPCs treat the Barbarian/Rogue as a pariah and the other PCs as people to be pitied. "Oh, you're such nice people, but I don't understand why you hang around Barbarian/Rogue. He's just plain rude." Even their foes will hear about his behavior and most won't trust him "I won't talk with him in the room. He's a wack-job!" is a good take for prisoners. Have any prisoner refuse to cooperate and beg the other PCs for protection.Give the Barbarian/Rogue every opportunity to change his attitude. People will cross the street to avoid him. Bartenders will throw him out of their pubs. Shopkeepers will overcharge him or refuse him service or close shop right as he walks through the door. Johnny Law will hassle him, telling him to move on, while the other PCs are welcome to stay a while. Local priests will avoid him and won't do anything to help such a trouble-maker. Even have good powerful NPCs lean on him, telling him to clean up his act "or it won't be pleasant." If the player complains, state that's what happens when your PC is a bully.3. Kill the PC. Because he's the big mouth in the group, their foes will definitely think he's in charge. Have them rush in screaming "Kill their leader, kill Barbarian/Rogue!" And have them focus their attacks on him, to the exclusion of the rest of the group./BC</blockquote>
