[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 822464, member: 2345"] It sounds to me like your DM has an issue with being in control. Almost like he isn't DMing to give you guys a fun chalenging thing to do on a wednesday night but instead he's trying to see how he can :o :mad: :( :eek: you over and have you jump through hoops. If you do convince him that the 10 duct taped wands of magic missles don't work he will just give the guy someting else which may not be against the rules but will still be very powerful. rather than making the adventure interisting which baits you into doing what he wants he is using strong arm tactics. Tell his about getting more flies with honey. It might be mean but you could have everyone in the group make comments everytime the NPC shows up. "Oh this guy again. . .I guess we are going in the wrong direction. again." "Oh we must be wondering into the area [the DM] didn't design yet [the NPC] with the wand is back." Another suggestion is to have the group attack him. the charachters attacking the NPC not the players attacking the DM. Go for a TPK. If you could get lucky and actually take out the NPC but another more powerful one will take his place. You can show how dissasatisfied you are with his tactics by getting the party whiped out. When he asks why the :o :mad: :eek: :mad: you all just did that tell him that we want to make some decisions ourselves every time you tried to make a desision in the past he ended up making it for you. by threating your charachters with death. so you choose death cause that was the only option. Of course and if you are really into the charachters; switch nights pick a new DM and don't tell the old one. [/QUOTE]
