Not when I have repeated MULTIPLE TIMES that NONE of the other players had a problem. I have repeated MULTIPLE TIMES that this player has a problem EVERYTIME the group games and the entire group is SICK of his whining. But no, it's 100% my fault. :confused:

Man, my patience has run out. I am very sick of the idiots here painting straw men arguments. The players were NOT in a situation where they were useless. You're either making up stuff because you don't have a point or you are completely ignorant of what went on despite my going into better...

Thanks!

Considering his extremely high dex and his build, he gets something ridiculous like 1d8+19 dmg on the main hand, and slightly less on the second hand. Add his "Wrath of Corellon Larethian" class ability, he gets an extra +2d6 divine damage for up to 6 rounds a day on the main hand. He's...

The surprise round is a partial action round. There is a debate in the group about what that means for a sneak attack with a character who uses two weapon style. Is it still just one attack or does the two weapon fighting feats allow a dual stab sneak attack?

My retired Rog/Ftr/Champion of Corellon (7/4/9) fought with two elven thinblades and had 7 attacks/round non hasted. Sometimes it seemed too many and I wasn't sure if we were doing full attack too much.

I see the problem with this if it were a regular occurrence, but it is not. It was ONE battle in an ENTIRE campaign, and this final battle is setting up the next big campaign, so certain things had to happen in a certain order this one time. I do not see the problem with that. If you think...

Well apparently you cannot read, as I have consistently been saying that there are things I am working on improving with. And I don't make every encounter like this one, this one-as I have said numerous times-is critical for the next big campaign. The PC's were to witness (after the ritual)...

Dude, seriously, wtf? Get off my ass. A) I never said that there was nothing wrong with my DMing style. No DM has nothing wrong with their DMing style. B) I have consistently been saying that there are some things I need to adjust. I am learning what the players like and they don't...

I guess. My players should trust that I am not going to outright kill them for no reason. That's the trust I am talking about. No one I know wants to game with a DM who is going to kill them off. Sure, they may end up facing a battle they can't win, but if that ever happens, it's going to be...

I already said that I could have done things a little better and that I am not 100% innocent. The entire point of the thread is that I have a player who has always complained, always brought down the entire party if he doesn't get his way, etc. I am going to try a few new things with him, and...

They couldn't flee. There was only one way forward as the way the PC's came in was sealed. The player knew this. The character knew this. The player was acting out his whining through the character in a way that didn't make sense as he knew the only way to survive was to go through the...

Thanks DYA. It's not like I am endlessly ragging on this player. I've said he can sometimes be good, and I have said he is an old friend. I do not want to kick him out and am searching for alternate ways to resolve the issue without conflict, which involves trying to make some changes and...

Right.

What mixed signals might those be? I put together what I thought was a very interesting story-line, which is going to lead into an even greater story-line. That's what I ran. The only person who seems to think I "failed" was the whiny player.

I said in my first post, this was mostly just a rant. I know I am not the perfect DM, and I know I make mistakes. But I too know this player and he's consistently been a problem player. Sometimes he will do just fine, but others he has to put down the DM and act ridiculous. Look, when you're...

Well, they couldn't exit the dungeon the way in, and in all likeliness they had to defeat him to get out. They did overhear him suggesting to the other NPC's that it was time to start the ritual. They also had defeated this NPC prior, as they caught him off guard, and hit him with a silence...

Thanks! I also received that tip from another place and ordered that mag online.

I've seen different gaming groups do this in completely different ways. One group will always allow a full attack as long as the characters don't move more than 5 steps. I have seen gaming groups do something similar to the above but who could only do a partial attack for the first round, no...

This also was our first campaign in about 3 or so years. I am really trying to learn how to be a better DM as well. I've been on other forums asking for advice and ways to improve my game. This is all a learning experience. I think there have been times where I did kind of railroad the...
