[QUOTE="Troll Slayer, post: 5372731, member: 97636"] A paladin who's terrified of the Undead sounds like a great character IF it is played right. A sorceress who taunts the barbarian for being a big aggressive brute is ALSO a great character idea; again IF it is played right. Take the player aside and say you appreciate him coming up with characters that are different from the DnD cliches; however that doesn't mean playing them should disrupt the fun of the other players. I had a rogue once who started as a spoiled rich kid and not the skulky trap finding killer assassin that your typical rogue can be. He constantly caused trouble for the party by opening his mouth. The clincher was that each player new what sort of character he was and was ready to roleplay him with me. His transition from spoiled rich brat to talented and feared duelist was a great story that my entire group was invested in. [/QUOTE]
