[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 2806998, member: 18253"] Along those lines, in addition to telling the player you made a mistake, offer to do something cool with his old character (marry him off to a princess or duchess ;) ) and be generous about his next PC (within reason of course). If, after admitting your mistake, your request for amicable solultion is denied by the player, repeat the request with a warning that you will deal with the problem more harshly if necessary. If he still balks, feel free to use whatever means are necessary to correct the problem. It would be nice if such means were somehow tied to the half-dragon condition: dragon dad comes looking for son to carry off somewhere out of game, dragon slayer cult kills him, dragon slaying sword does him in, etc. If I were a player in your game, I would support your efforts to correct the issue. I'd expect it, actually. These things happen but when they are grossly distorting like this one seems to be it means greater risk for my PC (a normal PC is more likely to die when you are trying to whack the powerful one) and simply is just frustrating while the uber-PC hogs all the glory.
