[QUOTE="takyris, post: 1001941, member: 5171"] Okay, this might be a hardline approach, more hardline than what other people are suggesting, but here it is: He didn't know about Ambi/Two-Weaponing rules He got his Armor Class wrong He screwed up multiple feat pre-requisites He's giving himself the feats of the Tiefling character in the Monster Manual as though they were bonus feats. He doesn't understand how to read a Save chart, or he's screwing up and using the Monte Ranger or something. Am I the only one who thinks that letting someone with this shoddy a grasp of the rules run a character this complex is a lousy idea? Frankly, "being nice to him" when he's already far more powerful than the party's dwarven fighter because he either cheated or screwed up horrifically multiple times in his favor strikes me as dumb. Not saying that YOU'RE dumb, just that he seems to be milking this game for all that he is worth. Playing a non-standard PHB character is NOT a right. It is an earned privilege. If you can't get your AC correct at 6th level, just using armor and a shield and feats, you DO NOT have the right to play a lizard-man or weretiger or Imp or other character with potentially game-breaking abilities. Maybe that's an unpopular stance. Maybe I'm a closeminded jerk. But for crying out loud -- anybody want to take bets on whether or not this guy knows that you only get half of your normal strength bonus to damage when attacking with your off hand? This guy needs to play a straight-classed elven ranger for awhile. He can still be cool and stylish, but he needs to be cool and stylish according to the core rules until he has demonstrated an ability to NOT screw the rest of the party over by unintentionally cheating in his own favor.
