[QUOTE="Sigurd, post: 1619578, member: 19412"] [b]Shelve and Learn new characters[/b] I'd break it to him that maybe he needs to backburner the halfdragon for a while. Tell him you might use him as an NPC if he wants, but try not to. Suggest that maybe a straight up Samurai or Lizard Man Samurai might be up his alley but you'd like him to be more main stream like the other characters. After all look at how much more powerful they are. Tell him that you're worried for the game dynamic if the other players have to always shield his character -- blame it on the level adjustment. If it has to be dragon related have him create a el1 dragon spawn. Explain that its not really fair to give him more levels then his companions especially as everyone is starting so high. An other option is to have his character be a Samurai with a ginormous Dragon tattoo. Perhaps in periods of intense meditation the character sees himself flying through the air with dragons wings. Research a prestige class that lets him awaken his inner dragon later, at least 3 levels. Make it possible that the other chars might be able to help him achieve the prestige class if he plays very close to the rules of bushido. Get a description of Bushido and see if he's willing to follow something more spelled out. Failing that see if his half dragon can be a mage or cleric? But its fair to remind him that the other players made characters based on the strategy that he would be a brick. S [/QUOTE]
