[QUOTE="Delemental, post: 625416, member: 5203"] Another way to do it is to tell all your players in advance of character creation that you expect them to make characters that will want to work with a group. Often you'll get players who have really cool character concepts, but fail to consider that they'll have to get along with others and cooperate. I think this happens because a majority of fictional characters out there in books, movies, comics, TV, etc are the "Lone Wolf" type. Don't go to any extraordinary lengths to force these people to stay together. If the paladin leaves, he leaves. If the necromancer leaves, he leaves. If you continue to have problems like this, then take the problem players aside and talk to them. It also sometimes helps to have the players discuss what kind of characters they want to play before they create them. This way you can head off potential problems. When one player wants to play a paladin, and another wants to play a necromancer, you can point out the conflict and make the players either come up with a reasonable way for them to get along, or change their concepts.
