If it were almost anyone else I'd agree with you, but I've been gaming with him for a very long time (20 years, I think) and he has helmed some of the most complex characters I've ever seen. I truly believe he has an overall method to his madness. The thing is, he generally plays one of two character types: The Stick In The Butt Paladin/Cleric, or the absolutely bonkers and chaotic Rogue/Arcane caster. The first of those is a breeze to DM because you can always know with near certainty what he'll do in any given situation. The second is a nightmare because you absolutely NEVER know what he'll do. It's a giant pain in the butt, and there have been many frustrating moments with his characters. But this time I've decided to embrace his chaos and see where it leads instead of trying to fight him into behaving. We have an understanding that he can pretty much try anything, but the dice are going to fall as they may, and if he gets himself killed, so be it. And so far it's led to several very interesting plot points, and there certainly have been consequences. He's caught the attention of at least one god that has withdrawn his trusty lifeline, so I think Edran is beginning to see his lives run out. We've begun to see some very subtle changes in his attitude of late Anyway, I'll spare you the details. Suffice to say, he's a great friend and a valued player who challenges me to grow as a DM, and so far it hasn't derailed the campaign too much.</blockquote>
