His combat ability was pretty good, but the guy playing it was super dense. A number of combats began with him spending four rounds trying to climb into a tree limb so he could take his shots... and by then half the targets were dead or retreating. Once though, the tree was knocked over as soon as the character made it up...The other kid was twice as dense. He basically wanted to play a fighter with good damage and cleaving, but he just wouldn't stop there. He had to take *exactly* two paladin levels and gain some prestige class with supreme cleave right after, and have iajutsu focus in a non-oriental game. He had all this "damage potential" if he could ever win initiative, be fighting eight opponents surrounding him, and all these other circumstances, but that never came about happening. So, even once he gets to play this out of place character, the first thing he does is run up to the biggest creature he can find and try to take it out on his own... and gets eaten alive. All that annoying me and working on his character only to walk up to a creature with a petrifying gaze attack and fail a saving throw...The first might play again sometime when he frees up his schedule, but the other had to leave the game for unrelated reasons.</blockquote>
