[QUOTE="akbearfoot, post: 5411985, member: 33560"] So I just wanted to vent a tiny bit. And see if others have similar experiences in their various gaming groups. We're playing through The Age of Worms, so no spoilers please. We're 19th level, and we know there are only a couple chapters left before the final showdown. It's taken us over a year of gaming to get from 1st level to here. Great game in general. We're in the Ebberron setting, Sharn, the Lightning Rail etc. Our characters have developed extensive contacts with pretty much every major settlement on the map, in our endeavor to save the world :) The only problem I really have is that the DM really seems to have an issue with letting our characters shop for specific things we want. The last time we had our 'shopping break' in between story arcs we were 17th level and were limited to buying only stuff of caster level up to 9th. So, we couldn't even find specific scrolls of higher than 4th level. Half of the party pretty much declared mutiny and we decided we were gonna sit in town for the 60 some odd days the DM said it would take to commission the stuff we wanted. If the world ended because of that, then tuff. Most recently, we hit 19th level and had our next rest period where we could sell out crap and go shopping around. We were again limited to 9th caster level, so we had to commission and wait weeks just to get our +3 armor and whatnot upgraded. Except this time, I had acquired a Ring of Spell Storing. Pretty much my entire wish list was for buff scrolls that our party does not have access to since we don't have a bard or cleric. Righteous Might, Divine Power, Greater Heroism. So I'm seriously annoyed when the DM tells me that I can't find any of those scrolls, and our party 'face' was off doing his own thing, so I couldn't have use of his gather info rolls, nor could I use my +20something knowledge local. Hell, it took us a week to find the only 2 Hero's Feast scrolls in all of Sharn. And that is a spell specifically available as a spell casting service. Being a primary melee character with a +13 BaB may have been my own doing, obviously, but its seriously annoying to be in a game world with flying ships and CR 20+ monsters running around all over the place where nobody higher than level 9 seem to be found. Grrrrr! [/QUOTE]
