[QUOTE="blackshirt5, post: 1136483, member: 7871"] OK, I don't want to go into too many details, but we genned charcters for RobNJ's Arcana Unearthed game last night and everything went well except for one thing: One of our players, I'll just call him LakeRon, insists on trying to one up everybody else. We've got two magisters: He's smarter than the magisters. We've got an unfettered faen who's got a very high AC: after hearing that, Ron's got his character's AC up almost as high. And I'm playing a dual wielding wolf totem warrior... That's the one that really aggravates me; when he found out that I was playing a dual wielder and that Ambidexterity is a Talent(you can't take it except at level 1) he turned around and changed his feat selections around to take Ambidexterity as his Talent feat when he knew I was building my character around that concept, giggling like a jackass while doing so; although the unfettered one gets me too, as the unfettered player is a newbie and kinda shy and Ron has to try and show him up in what he does best. What should we do about this? He does it in just about every game he plays(he minmaxes like hell and tries to play some weird powergamey thing like a halfdragon or a werewolf or something in like every game), but I don't wanna just say boot him as he's a dear friend of ours and a really nice guy outside of when he does this. What should we do? [/QUOTE]
