[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 1334766, member: 16278"] Yesterday afternoon I had a guest over to visit, whom I thought was a friend. I was going over my campaign idea of trying to bring over some Arcana Unearthed races into Dawnforge and some of the classes also, and going over how I would like the group to be. Then I pulled out the book of Distinctions and Drawbacks and explaining how this book will be a great tool for building better characters, I told him (and my roommate) that the Lone Wolf flaw was not allowed because I was tired of someone making a character that just wouldn't work within a group context. In my explaination I said that, and this is IMO, that at least one person would intentionally make a Lone Wolf character...someone who in real life wouldn't be part of the group, and generally created to cause chaos in the group. After that, this guy, whom I have been speaking to for six months about gaming and other stuff, just stood and left, didn't even say goodbye. That was how I got him to leave the group, and I didn't even have to tell him to leave. I just knew what kind of player he was going to become, and what kind of characters he liked based on our discussions, and outlawing the one thing that he would have picked made it seem to him that I was trying to railroad him somehow. So he left, and I am happy, and I didn't tell him to leave. Perhaps you can do this as well...but it seems that you already tried it somewhat. If something like this doesn't work, then tell him to leave... [/QUOTE]
