Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kastil" data-source="post: 1057076" data-attributes="member: 5649">We have a person in our Sunday group (online of course) who can't seem to play a 'normal' character.  The first game the DM ran, the person played some created class of his.  Don't get me wrong, he sent me the 'make-up' of the class and everything and the guy put a lot of work into it.  Unfortunately, the character was all about worthless to the party.  He liked to play on the weaknesses of his character instead of finding a strength AKA not being a lump of flesh just following the party around.We played an evil campaign next and several times I wanted to kill hi character but all those years of party unity just wouldn't let me.  When my character found out he was a goody two shoes trying to being the fall of the guys I was working with, well that was a different story <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The next one was back to the original game but he felt the need to make another character.  A character that was a 12 year old boy.  GAH!  My character was a foul-mouthed female ranger and I continually told one of the other party members to baby sit the kid, I had some grown up things to do.  Another character that couldn't benefit the party in any way.Enter the FR game.  He plays a character that acts 'mysterious' AKA hides a lot even from the party members.  His then character shoots at an evil wizard we are parleying with because we know, as 1st level characters, he'll kick our ass good.  At this point I'm thinking "Are you mental?".  The next thing we know we're being attacked by some cultists who wanted to kill the wizard as well (long story short, we parleyed with then as well).  Well my character's on the ground half dead because I didn't know orc and an orc attacked me when I didn't obey his, as I say, pig latin.This is where we think we make a stand on his weird characters.  I'm the only one to notice his character is slumped in the saddle and needs help but, thanks to the orc's smacking me down, I'm at 0HPs and delirious.  I can't rightfully not say I don't see her slumped but good for me!  His female character is slumped against another NPC male!  My way out! I, in my out of it state, claim she's stealing my boyfriend! (did I mention I tried to get back at him for playing the 12 year old boy with my 16 year old girl?).  ::coughs::  We leave his character to die.When I hear his next character is going to be a variant ranger (using Wheel of Time stuff in a Forgotten Realms game!), I feel I have better things to do like write that novel I've be working on.I love the DM and have gamed with him a long time but I can't stand to see this happening anymore.  Did I mention they're running a quickie game and the person couldn't even whip out a 3rd level character in a weeks time?Dude, it's D&D not rocket science.....</blockquote>
