Keep doing it, and have different NPCs interact with his character in different ways. Eventually, he'll hopefully start adding some characterisation. And if he doesn't... well, that's really his prerogative, I guess.What level is his character?I ask because in order to take a megaraptor as a companion he needs to be a minimum of 10th level as a druid (an 11th level character given the +1LA), and his companion advances as though he is 9 levels lower than normal. So, really, that shouldn't be a big problem.I'm with your brother on this one - the druid has healing spells on his list; if he doesn't want to use them then that's his prerogative. Of course, that means that the party will have to manage without healing, so I'm not sure it's a real problem.Treat everyone as equal. Always.One thing to bear in mind is that the CR/EL guidelines given in the DMG are, at best, a very rough tool. Especially once you start allowing supplements, especially if you allow the purchase/manufacture of magic items, and double-especially once you get above fairly low level, they really start to break down. So I would recommend simply posing tougher challenges overall. My recommendation would be add monster numbers rather than using a single higher-CR creature, though.Additionally, although it's not explicitly stated in the books, different monsters have different 'perfect' uses - some monsters work best if encountered solo, some in packs, and so forth. I'm afraid I can't advise much more fully than this - only experience can gain you that experience!</blockquote>
