[QUOTE="Valicor, post: 489228, member: 1555"] Hey Tysr I know what you mean. I have run in games and played in games with people who have a one track mind set. No matter how hard you try it just doesn't work. And directly confronting him, probally won't make it any better. It would probally lead to an argument, that can be avoided, or lead to him intrenching deeper into the style he currently plays. Here is a few examples of what I have seen. The Lafwul Good Paladin *Shudder* 1. Plays a 11 year old paladin who is the son of Corean (Scard Lands God). One of the pc's plays a small monkey like creature, that sows intelligence. The laful good guy dosesn't like the PC and decided to attack him while he is in a church. 2. Lawful Good guy refuses to play with the current party, and plans to try and kill that party because of a Person seeking acsess to become a Good Lich, one pc is a revenant back to avenge his murder. and another netural character. 3. Lawful Good guy plays a bugbear barbarian. For some reason it becomes fluent in english, and has a high charisma and a great noble personality. did I mention it was chaotic evil? These are like three of the 15 siuation I can recall off the top of my head. Some Options 1. Like mentioned above, Challange him to play a character that isn't of his standard archetpe. (He may except, you might even just get the thought in his head of trying soemthign new eventually) Either way you would atleast have the idea in the air. 2.Explain what your campaign setting is in detail to him. Sudaly hint that party unity is essential, improtant for the players to survive. (He might not realise that he is endangering the entire group). 3.Get to know his player mentality. Ask what makes him want to play characters the way he does. It could be he dislikes the basic hero concept and wants to seperate himself from it. Maybe he is trying to show his character difference between PC's. Maybe you can help him make a unique character that is tailored to the party. 4.Try to burn it out of his system. Let him make the characters, and see how long they last. Eventually he will get tired of making these characters. (Do not do this one unless you are prepared to dig in for the long run, spanning many characters, & campaigns) Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
