[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 5223480, member: 11586"] Personally, I don't see the big deal here. This seems to me, like something that happens in almost every gaming group. It happens in ours, and I don't think it is disruptive. Perhaps I am not fully grasping what you are describing... In every gaming group I've been in, this occurs. People talk out of character all the time. If he makes a quip or joke, simply ask, "Is your character saying this or are you talking out of character?" And if he tells you he is saying things in-character, have the NPCs act appropriately. Again, I even do this. It's not to be meant as a joke (at least not when I do it). You are just playing in-character, and re-explaining in your character's own words what the DM just told every body. In fact, there may be info the DM let slip (that the player's heard) that I don't want my allies to know (for whatever reason) and I will relay it in my own words, ommitting or adding to it what I will. After all, I made the check, not my allies, so they only know what my character tells them. This can be slightly disruptive, but if he is starting bar fights, why aren't the authorities involved? As for skinning, it seems like he is wanting to make a profit, nothing wrong with that. Yes, it is silly if he is wearing skinned animal pelts and hoping to get a bonus to Intimidate checks, in fact, I'd give him a penalty for something like that. Most of what you say though, I don't see a big disruption. Are you sure you aren't taking things out of context? [/QUOTE]
