The power gamer was very unhappy, didn't want to claim that he was unhappy becasue he doesn't want to be labeled a munchkin, but those are his game tendancies. I didn't want to tell him that it was okay to enjoy playing that type of game, but just not with me as a GM because in order to do so I'd be appearing to give him the label that he doesn't want. <shrug> He settled on my allowing him to ditch his Mageblade, which couldn't be as powerful as he wanted him to be now, and took a fighter and claimed that he wanted to follow the exalted path. I told him what I told his wife who playes the priestess, you can tell me you want to be exalted, then walk your character down the exalted straight and narrow for two levels. If either of them can do that then thier gods may raise them to exalted status. Some of the exalted feats are a bit... um... strong. I have my suspicions about why he wants to do this, but we will see. He's a great guy and a good gamer, but he has these power gaming hangups.With the spells I explained what I was aiming for, and ultimatly we left it at changing nothing for now. Players are going to be choosing spells with the understanding of the kind of game we are going for and I asked them to be adult about what spells they choose. If we need to comb over the spell lists because that isn't working them we will. At this point the only spellcaster is the Priestess and she is about to take a vow of pacifism... so it may all work out in the end. Part of the discussion last night was if the group could handle that type of a priest in the game. They decided yes with the power gamer not voting at all.To see how the game played out last night you can read it here <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=129407" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=129407</a>.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
