[QUOTE="Tervin, post: 4373813, member: 66491"] I would talk to the player out of game, and explain how I feel about what he is doing. Basically say that by playing the way he does, he is making it harder for the rest of the players (and probably the DM) to have fun. And then ask him if there is anything he would be ready to do to make this less of a problem. My message would be that I really like to have him around when we are playing, but the game needs to be fun for everybody. I might very well suggest a compromise where I play a little bit more his style if he just stops sabotaging for the group. In a 3.5 campaign that I have been playing the group's only healer more or elss refused to heal my character because it was of a race that his character didn't respect. I see that as something that many players would not have accepted. For me it was at times annoying but also something I knew from the start, and a reflection on the setting and the character I chose to play. In other words it was part of the unspoken contract I willingly entered into, and that way I had to make it work for me. My sorcerer in the end learnt how to summon monsters that he could ask to heal him... I offered that as an example of something that is a bit disruptive to the party, but still acceptable as it is something that we knew making our characters. I don't see that in your example. And that is why I would feel that I would feel a need to deal with it outside of game. [/QUOTE]
