[QUOTE="AtomicPope, post: 4373742, member: 64790"] Bingo! Some people feel the need to cause problems to "be original." It's easier to be a problem child for attention than to contribute. I've played many character that caused "problems" but they were always useful. There's a difference between roleplaying a character that is entertaining and just being an A-hole. The latter produces no laughs and sucks the fun out of the room. OP - you're the player, not the DM. My suggestion is to bring it up with the DM and tell him you're fed up. DM's are not always helpful. Sometimes players need to take over. If the DM won't do anything then it's DRAMA TIME!
