[QUOTE="Eldorian, post: 4375586, member: 10504"] I got a player like this in my current game. I'm thinking of kicking him out. He doesn't seem to want to play. His first character was a dwarf fighter (the pregen actually) and he was all leeeeroooy jenkins! with it. His battle cry was, "I got this" as he ran into situations where he didn't actually have this. I'm pretty sure his dieing breath was "I got this". His second character is a warlock that he didn't even make himself (the books were available, he asked someone else to make him a character, and he's the kind of guy who actually likes to think about game mechanics). This character is such a coward that he avoids danger altogether, even if it means the rest of the party, who are relying on him to help fight, die. He got hit by a minion with a ranged attack, and whined that he party's fighter had failed, and somehow thinks this is good roleplaying. If the rest of the party were being honest, they'd ask him to leave. I, at least, find his "roleplay" annoying, more than entertaining. And I don't think he likes it either, since he seems to be dead set on not having fun, and ruining it for others if possible. OP: Anyways, since you're a player in your game, just stop adventuring with the dude. You can even roleplay it. Ask him to stop following you around. Don't give him a share of loot. If he keeps following you around, kill him, and as, he's dieing, say, "I guess it was your time" for poetic justice. [/QUOTE]
