Message: <blockquote data-quote="DocSharpe" data-source="post: 6857753" data-attributes="member: 6677186">So I had a few players at one of the tables approach me with an interesting complaint.   There's a player at their table who had been playing a pacifist character.   You know the one...a cleric who doesn't do anything but heal.   A decent roleplayer, but one that added very little to combat scenarios.   They were initially fine with this, because he was at least healing them.Come the new season, and he's playing a very similar character...except this one is a rogue entertainer.  He roleplays up a storm...but it's the kind of roleplay he could be doing in a box...just describing how he's off in a corner playing his fiddle.   Combat comes along...he hides and doesn't help.   They've a few near TPKs already, and these players are getting frustrated...not because he's playing a character concept to the T...but because AL rules state that he gets an equal share of the rewards.Its not the first time this has come up with this player, and when I chatted about people being frustrated with his playstyle, he shrugs and says that it's his character and it's how HE wants to play it.   (The argument that it's a group game doesn't hold water with him).So I'm curious...while I know I can't suggest that the DM withhold equal rewards to this player (or can he?) ...is there anything that can be done for these players to make them feel better about carrying dead weight at their table?</blockquote>
