Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quentin3212" data-source="post: 6280293" data-attributes="member: 6775101">I think a big reason that I had such large issues with this beyond the reasons I've stated is that I suspect he may be being intentionally disruptive with his characters, either for his own amusement or simply to test me and what I will put up with at the table. The reason that I suspect this is that this is his second character in the campaign which has been running for some time now, and it also happens to be the second character we have had disagreements over. His first involved a socially inept Druid who cared only about saving his forest, and who "unintentionally" killed a number of tied down villagers via a spell during a fight with a number of goblins who had raided a town and carried off its inhabitants. When the last of the goblins were dealt with or driven off the NPC's attempted to arrest bob's character as he had just killed roughly five people in the process of killing three goblins, and instead of explaining himself he ran. Leaving the party to answer for him, which of course they didn't try very hard at having just met him and watched him commit several questionable acts before this. The whole event led to his being wanted for multiple cases of murder in the country, and when the campaign took everyone to the Capitol city his character left to be replaced shortly after with Stormageddon.Despite this suspicion I am slow to outright ask him to not return as I know he often couches such disruptive actions in character reasoning, thus making it seem like I am simply singling him out for and punishing him for playing a character he created while encouraging others with what they make. I think what I will do is first check his character sheet (all the players have binders in which they house their characters and other materials I give them, which are left at my home for convenience) to determine exactly what his background is giving him, and then have a hopefully brief and amenable discussion with him in which I will tell him that until I am brought up to speed regarding his backstory I will simply consider it non cannon and tell him he cannot have any benefits from it (ie. the exotic languages) or any additional benefits from his background beyond what is in place.</blockquote>
