He's clearly not learning, so doesn't deserve full experience. It's one thing not to remember what some obscure thing you loaded up with because you had a hunch you might need it does, it's another thing to forget what Fireball or your sword does. This would be like a soldier who can't remember how many bullets go in a magazine. He's not going to last terribly long.The other helpful solution is to quietly get the offending player's character killed. Don't do it in a way that makes it seem like you're out to get him, but do try and get him killed. Then pin the reason for the death on his own incompetence and ignorance. That way he feels like he was responsible for it, and perhaps makes a better effort to learn the rules next time. Even if he doesn't, you'll still feel better every time you kill him.Do your players pelt your minis with dice? If they refuse to quit after you tell them to stop it, start pelting their characters with very large rocks every time they do it. It's even better if the player manages to hit the mini representing his character, or a partymember, with one of the dice: Have that character immediately hit by a very large rock. It might even work better when you punish another player's character for it, since then he'll immediately become angry at the player who caused this to happen. In the meantime, you feel muich happier.Remember: Beatings will continue until morale improves.</blockquote>
