[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1398954, member: 9990"] I'm part of that club. I used to gripe about 2E cause I hated it, so I found my own group and played on. I quit all associations with 2E and pretended it didn't exist as all I would ever hear from players was 'my PC has blah blah blah with blah blah and is cooler than anything ever concieved'. Retch. :p So I simply found my niche, which was OD&D until 3.0 came out. You could take him back to the days of OD&D, which is again a far cry from 2E; translate everything back from 2E for his prized PC. Then kill him. Often. Tell him to get used to it. After 3 hours of OD&D death-therapy, bring him back to 3E. Tell him that you never want to hear about some wimpy 2E version again. Welcome back to D&D with 3.XE - survival is your mission, not collecting toys. Feel lucky punk? Think again... roll for initiative... :) [/D&D bootcamp] I'm glad 3E came out, thought it took some time to warm to, and won't go back. Perhaps your player is looking for something else that he may never find or be happy with in your campaign. [/QUOTE]
