[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 5801219, member: 22622"] I understand. I decided not to post it because, I am technically biased. So by understanding the behaviors and situations that other DMs boot for, I can gather an opinion if it warrents it. This is the behavior in a nutshell The player has built 2 characters, both min maxed to superman levels and made combat uninteresting for the other players. He also berates players/characters in game. He pissed the lady of the house off when he went in the refrigeration and pured himself our orange juice (we keep pop on the table). This is only his 4th game. We had a new player join us, and he appeared "jealous" of his character (he was playing a rogue). When i had to retire his summoner synthesis (AC 26, 3 +10 attacks, several +15 skills, 4th level) he built an equally game breaking rogue character. He's fairly abrasive to the other players. I had a chat with him this week, after I got a unanimous complaint from all players (2 of the 3 players are relatives and the 2 relatives complained before but I didnt want to seem biased) I chatted with him. He's a kindergarten teacher, i figured maybe he's just not understanding us adults. He apologized, realized he can be harsh at times, told me he'd pull back. I helped him all week, some 12 manhours making a balanced new character. He was fairly pouty this game, less abrasive, but still spoke harshly to people and hated that he could no longer be great at every facet of teh game. (he got real upset with me because I told him his character fell asleep while attempting to help the bard with research (he has an 8 intelligence now, and rolled poorly. My wife described his character as "acting out". He attempted to do uncharacteristic things in game, stealing treasures, torturing people. When asked why, he said he's doing it for the king. I'm not sure if i should give him another week, or just boot him. I don't like when my wife is pissed off. And his pouty gameplay has made her very irritated. [/QUOTE]
