I am sure that this is nothing new. I couldn't find another thread on it though. I am a new player to D&D and my group asked me to be the DM. They are all more experienced than me but I seem to be able to control the group the best and have a creative and strong fantasy background.
I am struggling with one player in particular. He is a lot younger than the other players. He is only 12 while the rest of us are mid-20's. He is one of the players little brother. He wants to be the center of attention and is immature. I can understand that and bear it because of his age.
The main problem I am looking for help with is the fact that he is only a level 3 but with stat rolls to begin with, training, and skill focus; he is rolling very high 20's and even at times 30's on stealth, bluff, and thievery. Every time he meets a NPC he immediately tries to steal all their money or bluff the NPC into giving him everything that the PC has. He is also playing a chaotic evil while the rest of the group is mostly neutral and a two lawful goods. So he is wanting to murder and steal everything he sees.
He really sticks out like a sore thumb and brings the story to a screeching halt. I can tell that some are getting tired of his antics and causing tons of trouble.
Long story short (haha), does anybody have some suggestions? I don't want to kick him out or pick on him (too much at least).
