[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5712964, member: 1"] Does the power gaming detract from your own enjoyment? If so, it might be worth having a word with him just so you can agree on a gaming style that you both enjoy. If not, then - if that's what he enjoys about D&D - then I'd try to facilitate his fun. To that end, I'd throw in encounters that he can waltz over and feel heroic and powerful about, as long as that's not taking away from the less-powergamed players' enjoyment. Give him his chance to shine. Find out what the other players really like, and give each of [I]them[/I] their chances to shine, too; maybe one of them loves the roleplaying grandstanding; maybe another loves sneaknig around and feeling ninja-y. Let 'em all do what they love doing, as long as it doesn't make it less fun for you. Then throw in a more difficult challenge every session or two, just to spice things up. But let 'em have their fun! Don't be tempted to try to nullify their attempts to enjoy themselves. Try to say "yes" as often as possible. [/QUOTE]
