[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1336641, member: 14403"] Actually you can wean him out. Just don't ask him what his character is doing. Skip over him if he is going to be disruptive. Eventually he'll get bored of playing if he feels he is wasting his time. Also, it is WELL within your power as a DM to limit playable alignments/classes/races. It sounds like he might have some personal issues that he is dealing with through roleplaying. By playing a disruptive character he is forcing people to pay attention to him. In life is he either a) disruptive or b) really shy? Both personality types tend to play disruptive PC's to make up for their own personality issues. In any event he knows he is in control and can continue playing this way because you won't kick him out due to the fuss he'll make. I hate to say it and don't take it wrong but you need to grow some balls and confront him and your group on it. There are plenty of gaming groups out there so feel free to make it a "Him or Me". I'd opt to give him the boot. I've been a similar situation before and the player promised that he'd change and he did... for all of two sessions. He then went back to his usual style of play.
