One of my players has a Knight, and is disgruntled considering retiring his character, because 'bad things happen all the time'. Point in case a temple was often attacked by a mummy who confused it with his former temple for various reason. A emperor was possessed by a demon, villians managed to attain the magical items they had been searching for. A war has broken out among several countries and an evil demon lord is being 'raised' by the villians. He says his character can"t handle all the negative factors. FYI, they defeated the mummy and saved everyone, his knighthood which was outlawed, received a pardon for defeating said mummy. They cured the emperor thus saving the entire empire and received various plots of land. They defeated and slayed numerous enemies, major villians actually. Overall fairy equal positives for negatives. Mind you this knight has like a +6 to hit and +10 to damage through the character min/maxing, and plans to give up his character or playing outright if he loses a single point of strength. Also no one has permanently died once in all the months of playing, and those who have died have been ressurected. I usually never do ressurection or hand out tons of magical items (2 for each player), but have done so with this current party. Is it just me or does this player seem to give up at ANY negative turn? Adventuring and fighting ghosts and vampires equals yes there is danger of score losses and death...monsters would lose their edge and it'd be pretty boring fighting bad guys that have no real affect on you. How do I handle this? I feel like this player thinks he should only gain and gain and gain, and never suffer effects. Seems unsportsman like to me. Any thoughts? I'm kinda in a bind, and ps. he gets mad they fight tough villians who they must gain levels (which they have) in order to defeat. sorry for the novel-long post, but HELP!!!! pps the party has 3 players all of 6th level</blockquote>
