[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1393721, member: 99"] I agree that you shouldn't concede, particularly if he's using the fact that you play at his place as a weapon (you didn't explicitly indicate this however). One way I might try talking to him about it is this: "You say that this is the only character concept that you can come up with. Fine. But I think you'll admit that if I include your 7th level PC in with the 3rd level guys, I'll have to bump up the challenges for the party a bit, right? And, if your guy is doing 7th level stuff while the other PC's are doing 3rd level stuff then you will doubtlessly be the bigger threat. Any intelligent foe is going to try and take out the biggest threat first so your character may get more than his normal share of attacks coming his way. What if I roll a couple of unlucky crits on you (no intimation that this is a threat WHATSOEVER, roll in the open if you have to) and your character bites it? You're telling me there's no way you could come up with another character concept and you'll effectively be out of the game at that point? Is this really what you're saying?" See what he says to that. If he truly sticks to his guns and absolutely won't rework the character concept, I'd say it is more a sign of stubborness than a lack of creativity. If worst came to worst, I'd probably table the campaign idea for now and play something else. Or let somebody else DM for a while. [/QUOTE]
