[QUOTE="-Warlord-, post: 2151090, member: 7933"] Sounds to me like the player just wants to tag along with the party, slay stuff and get treasure. And if he has fun like that, and it doesn't anyone else's fun, there really is no problem. Changing his abilities without asking him about this first can have a bad effect. The player probably won't realize his character got smarter, and that he now can play him smarter. He'll probably play him as the same barbarian, but complain about the forced reduction in stats. I bet he's pretty proud of his ability to do massive damage, and has his character totally built to do lots of damage. Probably loves to roll the dice and announce one big slash after another. His fun is doing damage. Now if you are going to take some of that perfectly built damage power, you take away some of his fun. And taking away fun from the game, well that is a problem. Talk to him about your idea first though. I could be totally wrong and he could totally love it. [/QUOTE]
