[QUOTE="Hella_Tellah, post: 4537815, member: 52669"] Ooh, I don't think I want to go giving him a derangement as a Flaw. Then he gets [I]bonus experience[/I] for disrupting the tone of the game. Yeesh. I'm thinking that the problem doesn't really come from the kind of character he makes, though--multiple personalities could easily be done in a way that reinforces the tone we're trying to set. I think the real problem is that this player wants silly and wacky, and the games we've been running recently don't provide that. He and I were both playing in another guy's 4e game, which is more "sandbox" than mine, and he quit in a fit of nerd rage because hanging out and doing silly things wasn't earning his character XPs and GPs. I've been trying to encourage other kinds of play, but I think he just prefers to play that way, and we aren't really the gaming group for him. :( [/QUOTE]
