[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1619963, member: 9037"] I have to say I was rather taken back at some of the things said in this thread. You said this guy is a novice. Then you all need to give him a break instead of calling him a stupid player. I remember when I started playing it was sometimes hard to get a grasp on everything. I was lucky that I had a good DM and the rest of the players were experienced and really helped me. As the DM a lot of this is your doing. First why start newbies so high the higher level the more there is to deal with start lower so they can learn the mechanics and how their classes work. Secondly you allowed him to play the template and the class. I have found that with newbies it's better to stick to core until they get the hang of the game. As for the Bushido this sounds like so many paladin arguments sit it down with him and write out the code so it is in black and white. I too think its great that he likes his character even though he is not as effecient as the rest of the party. I think this is a DM problem not a player problem and if you don't handle this well then the guy may just quit DnD and say hey computers are so much more fun. [/QUOTE]
