[QUOTE="Doctor DM, post: 5355322, member: 49937"] Couple things: Yes, I would say he definitely has the trying to "win" mindset of us vs. the DM. And I would say he definitely doesn't trust the DM. I'm not really sure how we can make him trust the DM though. Some of the bad things that have happened to him have been semi cheap, but not really horrible. The potions lost in the fire was the worst thing, and that was far from horrendous. Plenty of similar things have happened to other players, and while we're not exactly happy about it (you're not gonna say "YAY! I took 30 damage!"), we realize that things happen, it's part of the game. Plenty of great things have happened to him as well. He's a Paladin, and the DM gave him Favored Enemy for free. He was able to buy a special high tech pistol for half price. (I had to pay full price for the pistols when I went to the the same shop later. He was just lucky and caught a sale.) He's going to be able to learn some spells by studying this necromancers spellbook he got from a slain villain. He will learn to cast a spell or two, for FREE, not having to take spellcaster levels. So he's far from getting picked on. I'm very curious to see how this turns out. I'm predicting the problem solved for the most part, but I think there's still gonna be a LITTLE whining. Hopefully we can make him "get it". [/QUOTE]
