[QUOTE="starkad, post: 454291, member: 6803"] I have a PC that utterly refuses to play anything other than a character from scratch. :( Here's an example... I'm currently running a game that has lasted almsot 2 years.. Characters are 15th level currently, almost 16th(quick levels, but on purpose, we wanted to get up in leevls to sample the epic level rules, and see what high level PCs can really do). When I started the game, I did so at 3rd level. I almost always start at level 1, but I wanted to kickstart it. I had one PC that refused to play anything other than first level. I warned him his character might die easily...And repeatedly. So he picked a powerful race from the FRCS book, a Svirfneblin. So now we're 15th level, and he is 12th (8th cleric, 4th Summoner). I am in fear of slaying his character.. He's the one that constantly has to have drama at the table, creating a ruckus about the most trivial of things. He's also stated several times that if I kill his character permanently (which is possible), that he would leave the group. Now I know some of you are inclined to say "So let him leave, he's obviously not worth it!"... But I need people in my RPG group. We're currently at 5 people, including the DM (me). [I]What I am looking for is suggestions or arguements to this person who refuses to play anything but level 1 characters, to change his mind.[/I] If he brought in a level 1 character into a level 15 game, he would be killed the first session with ease. Nor would he be any use to the party, he couldn't hit anything, nor affect them. Haaaaaaaaaaaalp! :eek: [/QUOTE]
