[QUOTE="DragonLancer, post: 1557704, member: 11868"] I've got a player in my current group, who is causing some problems with his style of play. This player is what the rest of my group would call a twink or powergamer. He uses the rules to create the best and most powerful character he can. He has and does, overshadow the others in combat situations. Unfortnately, this isn't how myself or the other 4 players at the time (all of whom I have known longer) like to play. We enjoy the playing and the storytelling, not the uber-gaming of using the rules to make the best character possible. Unfortunately, this has led to several arguments with this player, and numerous complaints from the other players. He considers the rest of the group to be playing "crap" (his own words) characters, and gets highly annoyed when it is suggested that he play to that style of gaming. Any advice on what I can do to try and get him (wrong choice of words, but I think you know what I mean) to play as the rest of us? I don't want to drop him from the group if I don't have to, but if the guy continues to draw complaints from the others I may have to for the sake of the game. [/QUOTE]
