[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 8851980, member: 7033886"] The best way to handle such a person in your games is to remind them that you and the other players, not just them, are writing the "story". D&D and other RPGs are complex 'Choose Your Own Story' adventures where you as DM present your players with several options on how to approach a given situation. They pick one of those options or come up with a reasonably well-thought option of their own, and then you take the party down that path to the next situation. Novels for what they are worth are linear. RPGs otoh resemble a tree with numerous branching off points. At any rate, as DM, you have final say on what species (WoTC really needs to change that name. :p )you are going to allow into your game. If you don't want Ardlings in your game, cast [I]Banishment.
