orchid blossom said:I play a sorcerer, so it doesn't really matter. But our DM has a policy that if I haven't used a new spell yet, I can change it out for something else. Once it's been used, I'm stuck with it.
But, we also have an agreement that I won't pick a spell cause I suddenly need it if it's a spell I wouldn't have taken otherwise. For example, I needed dismissal to get rid of a possession, a spell I would never choose as a sorcerer. So I didn't cheese weasel and suddenly have it just cause I hadn't chosen a new 5th level spell yet.
I kicked the guy that was doing that out of my group. Gone, gone, gone for good. He would also yell and piss and moan when a piece of information or description of the environment came down that didnt have any immediate relavance to the campaign. He would pout during combat if things weren't going his way every time, and generally sucked the fun out of the room every time we played because everyone would get uncomfortable. This is exactly the type of person that does what you're asking about. They have no place at my gaming table.Driddle said:How many DMs out there are checking their players' character sheets during the game to make sure spellcasters aren't fixing their spell picks as they move through an adventure?
