[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 67304, member: 1013"] My brother is playing a Wizard in my Greyhawk campaign. Him and I have been playing since the mid 80's and he has never gotten out of the mindset that it's a competition against the DM and the players to have the most powerful character in the party. He is incapable of having fun unless he has an uber-character. That's bad but not the worst part. He likes to antagonize me and he's always saying stuff like, "your boys are going down" when referring to the monsters and he constantly accuses me of trying to screw them when I tell them a rule that makes some unreasonable action they are taking illegal. He also keeps telling me the games "score" He likes to say, "Player 1 - DM 0" as if to show he's winning. That in turn makes me kind of antagonistic towards the party and isn't good for the game. He told me he would have no problem if EVERY encounter they go through was a breeze and they never had any challanges that may kill them. Sometimes I want to tell him to raise his PC to 20th level, give him everything he wants from the DM's guide and call it a campaign. He will have then "won" by his own view.
