Obviously I meant to say 'post and run' above....

Baramay - I think basically he's bored with his character, and feels like he's hit the limits with it.
Thanks for looking at the lurk stats, I think you're right about the PP issues, I've noticed that too during play. And is certainly something I can play on. I might give him the option of looking at limiting the augments etc, try and plan something to play on his weaknesses and then have a finale up my sleeve if towards the end he'd still looking like he'd want to retire his Lurk.

Mikaze - I like the popeye idea - I don't think we've ever had a similar situation before in our group.

Sorry to post and fun - had to give the baby some dinner (she has no sense of the importance of some things!) Thanks for all your thoughts guys, it's given me some good ideas.

Some more background:
- The nature of this campaign is that it's a bit of fun (hence the wierd classes and not at all balanced party) in between more serious campaigns.
- Not everyone has played every session (by design - we found we weren't gaming enough when trying to fit in around everyone's lives) so there is uneven character progression across the board. I think this guy played pretty much every session so far, which explains maybe why he didn't feel the need to level up recently.

I certainly don't want to take punitive action, like I said, it's meant to be fun and I want to include him in that. So, the session I have in mind will have challenges specifically aimed at each PC's strengths/abilities/interests since the more experienced players sometimes drown out the others. This gives me good scope to arrange an suitably exciting exit for this player.

Thanks!

My group has a 3.5e homebrew campaign running where the DMing rotates and I'm about to take my first attempt.

One of the other players is very experienced and has just said to me: "kill off my PC, he's power-gamed to the hilt and I haven't even bothered levelling up recently since he's so over powered...the party needs a cleric anyway".

Can anyone suggest anything I can do to challenge my player e.g. give him a specific (rubbish!) class to play, or make his life hard in some way. I think he'd like a challenge and I would collaborate with the player on it.

He was/is a level 10 psion/lurk wood elf, and the rest of the party is: a weretiger/some psionic class with a split personality, a pixie, a celestial trumpet archon,, some sort of fighter, and a ranger I think (it's been a long time since we played - I've ad a baby and real life intruded....)

So, any ideas on how to keep my player interested and challenged?
