[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 4373847, member: 58197"] I'd say ignore his character as much as possible. Ask the DM to scale encounter difficulty as if that PC weren't in the group, and have someone else make a [i]real[/i] defender so you've got a front line. Don't complain about his uselessness - that's what he wants. Just give him a share of the loot and let it go. When he does something intentionally to get the rest of the party in trouble, like deliberately provoking enemies - cut the character loose to deal with the consequences by himself. Again, don't make a big fuss about it. Just say, "You made the problem, you deal with it." Then shut the door and walk away. (Again, you may need to ask the DM to help here, by not allowing the troublemaker to drag the whole party down with him.) This guy clearly wants attention any way he can get it. When you get mad at him, you're rewarding him. So don't reward him. Eventually he'll get bored enough to either a) quit the game, or b) make a character who contributes in a positive way. [/QUOTE]
