i am a newer DM/GM whatever, and i have a campaign that is both faction based(3 factions) and my players really wanted to be on different factions so i let them(perhaps im not very smart) but my groups have very different approaches. one is very martial based. controlling what they do is very easy when they get out of hand. tho i almost never have to worry about them. my other group however has someone who is bound and determined to try and break the game. hes casting spells with scrolls and such that his class cant learn/isnt a high enuff level to directly learn, using his ridiculous charisma to forcefully avoid fights but still want exp, every enemy he DOES defeat hes raising as skeletons or ghouls, and worst off i REALLY want people to choose a faction and stick with it, but hes determined to use this faction to get alittle ahead and build contacts and whatever then take over the faction himself/make his own faction.
TL:DR so my questions are do i raise the difficulty of someone whos using spells higher then his level/outside his class, and do i raise the difficulty for this person with an army of undead?
and how do i punish/slow down/stop someone who is abusing his overly high score? am i allowed to?
i feel like maybe some of my players are taking advanatage of the fact that im newer and im pretty nice and lenient
