[QUOTE="ClemLOR, post: 4515072, member: 78846"] Greetings. I am very sorry to read about such a situation - I really don't like situations like these. As you allready have stated: One way to handle the situation is by simply confronting him with the rules itself. So I look forward to grab the character sheet when you post it. But as a matter of fact I don't like to favor "rule-bitching" as well. As DuD still is a roleplaying game (yes, even DuD 4E) I'd try to get a solution from the other game contents. First consider the world of Eberron: The background focuses highly on an after-war situation. One of the final major happenings in this war is some sort of a mighty magical cataclysm. Although magic is to be found in nearly any life situation, consider many living beings getting more and more suspicious on magic. Then there is this class of the artificer - not a mystical mage, not a highly unworldly divine cleric, not a magecraft doing nothing but his daily job. The artificer may be seen as a freak by some - or even many? Who knows ... And as the magic cataclysm is directly connected with the dragonmarked house of d'Cannith, which held and holds many artificers and also works hard with magic item creation and experiments (at least in the point of view on many people), you can create serious roleplaying situations in which an artificer looses any ground. Now again - what was that about time, money, room, materials for item creation?!? Then there is this warforged; many still don't believe in them being sentient beings. Most consider them tools of war, machines to kill and slaughter. They and their big brothers, the warforged titans, drew havoc onto the battlefields. The peoplse of Khorvaire are traumatized about what happened there. And all this is just a handfull of years ago. Wtf?!?!?!?! Warforged [b]AND[/b] artificer in one creature-thing? Well, as long as you don't only play in huge citys and metropolitans, try to get a feeling about what people would think about it. And all these things are not really subject to rules. Maybe the guy will try to get control of the situation. Let him. Sooner or later most people will quite likely plot against him; and doing it quite witty some of the other player characters might get involved into it. And even if all this results in a mighty slaughter, hell breaks loose ... There will be almost all major and minor organization - secret or non-secret - seeking this guy - either to make him a compatriot or simply to destroy him. Make it epic! I'd really like to DM your group for only a single evening ... It'd be great fun - to all, even this deadhead. In my humble opinion he seeks the challenge; and yet he hasn't found it ... Greetings ClemLOR P.S.: I will try to create some sort of warforged artificer in my sparetime ... ;) Lvl 4 you said, right? [/QUOTE]
