Now, I don't agree with where those expectations seem to lie, but IMO the game is just more fun in general when everyone's on the same page. As has been mentioned, talking to the player about this issue can be a better solution - assuming, of course, that you where expecting the problem in the first place.You can "retrain" players, but it's not something I see that often anymore. Trying to do so puts yourself at risk of falling into some pretty stick "bad game" cliches. From your example, I'm wondering if the player isn't off grumbling somewhere about how unfair you where. And really it doesn't matter what we here on ENWorld think about the situation - it's what your players think that matters. I'm not saying that you should have to put up with that sort of behavior, but if you reach a point where your expectations and the player's can't play well together then not jettisoning him from the group becomes unfair to him as well as to yourself.</blockquote>
