help with a violent party member

[Ian Bartles]

Sounds like a munchkin, a really bad munchkin at that. The best way to deal with him would be to ask your dungeonmaster (out-of-game of course) to do something about it, be helpful maybe suggest a random bolt of lightning or a powerful earthquake which causes a vast rift in the earth right where the munchkin happens to be standing

If you can't do that, convince the rest of your party to beat him within an inch of his life (IN game ) and threaten to kill him if he tries to steal **** again. Doesn't matter how powerful he is, he probably won't win a three-on-one.

Hey guys,

I have a troublesome guy in my team who is something like a half rogue/half fighter, don’t know the levels. He has wings through some kind of demonic feat and is also considered a native outsider. I know his wisdom/con are average and so his will saves and probably his fort are weak. Can you give me some good spells/magic items for dealing with him? The reason I call him troublesome is he has a tendency to literally fight the party for loot. The rest of the party lets it go, but I don’t intend to let him attack my character again and get away with it. My char is a level 9 wizard, int: 20 and access to 5th level spells, he also has a ring of arcane might/ring of protect +2.


FYI: His char is CG, my char is CN. My char is also the party item maker, so suffice to say he isn't getting **** made for him. He always attacks non-lethally, which apparently makes it "OK" for him to do.

What happened is we found a ring and a bow, I used identify to determine what the items were. The bow went immediately to the ranger and like three different PCs grabbed for the ring, I said no, wait a second and the douche immediately tried to grapple my guy to wrestle it away from him. He failed, surprisingly, and then went on to attack my guy. As soon as the first blow landed my guy said that it was enough, handed him the ring(ring of dex+3 by the way) and told him he could have it and not to expect any items to be made for him.

He tends to always be very selfish about loot, when I called him out on it after the above-mentioned incident, he gave the ring to a different person basically to smooth things over.

I honestly have no idea why the party thinks this is okay, except that I am newer to the group than him, as is my character.


I’d rather not KILL him, but something to make him stop being a *EDITED* would be nice.

Why not use suggestion on him when he does such a thing to quell his character down? justification would be easy if he attacked another player. if thats not what youd deem acceptable, then you could just strike a deal with the hardest to knock out/grapple character to get the items as quick as possible then distribute them fairly. if all else fails blind or paralyze him.

You all forgot about the power of Wish. Find a way to have access to it, and use your imagination. Also, a more powerful back-up character is helpful. When the lvl.8 assassin in my party started to bully/abuse the lvl.5 ranger and lvl.6 sorcerer, I brought in my lvl.10 blackguard gnoll who proceeded to put the puny human in his place. He still abused all of the DMs NPCs until he was kicked to the curb, but at least he stopped harrassing the PCs so that at least they had some fun. But after screwing up the entire campaign and abusing the characters in real-life he was instructed to go to Baator if you know what I mean.

That still boils down to DM-fiat.

Polymorph so you look just like his character, attempt an attack on the local ruler and he'll have an army after him.


Peaceful resolution. Suggest to start or increase the party fund.
