[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 7173840, member: 6816042"] It is true that disruptive players often deliberately create odd combinations, but so do awesome creative players, so you don't want to turn them away with restrictions. My suggestion is to ask the player of the "wacky" character to explain their reasoning, and provide a character background, even if just orally. This should give you a good filter. Good players will have solid, story reasons, while disruptive ones will hopefully become obvious. I have had lots of players make what might seem like oddball combos. They usually turn out to be really interesting characters with very engaged players. They don't end up seeming wacky at all, but unique and imaginative. During play if players decide to loot and murder, well they can be dealt with higher level NPC heroes, or if they are high level they could even be smited by agents of good gods! [/QUOTE]
