[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2778471, member: 35788"] I am glad other people are agreeing with my earlier statement (and someone's before me) that this character will likely ruin the game. The way I see it - given the snippet of the E-mail sent - if I was a player I'd get rid of the guy. He's not reliable in combat ... when reliability is an absolute MUST! He's unreliable in social interactions ... so those characters who are social builds are going to get hosed to. The way I se it, this guy is looking for a spotlight and that spotlight will probably mean a lot less fun for the rest of the players. Why? Because spotlights are addictive. Once the player experiences the thrill of ruining (or even making an encounter more difficult than it need be) that kind of power is addictive. Ever wonder why a gaming group that gets off track is hard to get back on track? That's why. I would advise the player to either regain sanity or get a new player. But I also said earlier that I am not a fan of this concept. [/QUOTE]
