[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 459185, member: 259"] Thorne, I think you might be losing sight of the reason to play the game -- you're all playing to have fun, right? You need to decide whether the way this guy has fun (i.e., playing the same character over and over) is so awful that it ruins everyone else's fun. The best advice might be to live with it. If he likes playing a paladin over and over, more power to him. We have someone in our group who almost always plays a character with +12 or higher in Tumble. He really, really likes playing someone who can bounce all around the battlefield. It fulfills some deep-seated desire in him, I guess. More power to him, I say. Let him bounce. He helps us out in the game, he plays distinct personalities, and he's a fun guy. What do I care if all his characters share this trait? Now, if your player is doing something annoying with his paladins -- if they're constantly preaching at everyone in a no-fun way, or if he's ignoring the other players, or if he's not holding to a strict alignment -- then that's a problem. But it's not a problem with his playing paladins over and over -- it's a problem with his roleplaying skills. Daniel [/QUOTE]
