A DM was setting up getting ready to run. He was in a heated discussion with several of his players who were angry that he was allowing the new guy to play a character other than a cleric. Because that was what the party needed.My roomate and I discussed this on the way home. He is having a similar problem in his game. He desiged a wizard/cleric/mystic thergue. The character worships a God of trickery and he is an illusionist. When the game started eight months ago the party had a bard an a sorcerer in it. The bard died and was replaced with a ranger. The player playing the sorcerer moved. Now up until these changes a month ago the rest of the players enjoyed his character. But now the fact that he is the only magic user in the party the others are starting to point out that his character is not as effective in combat and since he is not throwing around the heavy duty combat spells the sorcerer did he is a libality to the party.He has been thinking of bringing in a new character a more combat oriented wizard or sorcerer or maybe a straight cleric. And asked what I thought about it.I told him not to. He was having a blast with this character and if the others had a problem let them change characters and play what they think the party needs.This topic came up ay dinner with some more friends who game and we had a very heated discussion. Some of them agreed with me that he should play what he enjoys but others felt that since DnD is a group endevor if the other players think is character is weak he should change it. I was wondering if these issues came up in other's games and just what en worlders thought about this?</blockquote>
