    \$\begingroup\$ @Goldmon Thanks for the additional info. I've added it to the question body. This sounds like a very rough situation. It has some similarities with other problem-players questions asked on this site. Hopefully you'll get some useful answers from folks with similar experiences. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 21, 2021 at 16:24

    \$\begingroup\$ @Goldmon You should have done that - talk with the other two players - before you asked a bunch of strangers on the internet. (Though to be fair, you are not the first person ever to run into such a problem). 'At the table' dynamics for each group are often unique to that group. But here you are, so I hope that the answers offered are useful to your whole group. If you like them, share them with the other players. I think it will help. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 21, 2021 at 17:00

    \$\begingroup\$ Voting to close as this needs more details and clarification; current answers are all speculating on Barb's player's motivation and other aspects of the situation. You say the other personality is out for blood and "doesn't care whose, even other party members" - so why does he keep preferentially attacking the party? Would a solution be simply to place him out of range of party members during a combat? Also, "he needs to get it under control" - is it his choice? Both to trigger it, and who he attacks when it is triggered? (1/2) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 22, 2021 at 2:02

    \$\begingroup\$ (2/2) Also Also, "bad personality seems to be popping up more and more" - is this his decision, DM's decision, are there specific, objective triggers? Until we understand this we can't understand the situation you are actually describing, and answers will remain opinion-based. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 22, 2021 at 2:04

    \$\begingroup\$ I'm interested in the eventual outcome here, if you don't mind too much, do come back and leave a comment once things shake out. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 22, 2021 at 20:12
