So my DM has a lot of strange house rules that work against us. It sucks, but it's not too big of a deal, and it's a fun game. And, well, he's the DM, and what he says goes.
(To his credit he also has some houseruled stuff that helps us a lot as well.)
But this time I think he's gone too far.
I play an admittedly rather broken druid summoner character, and he has suddenly ruled that when we summon more creatures to aid us in battle, we don't gain as much experience, because we now have a bigger "party" and things become easier, and the summoned animals get xp too.
So that means everything my character is built for, loses us xp, because I cast certain types of spells. I think it's BS.
If you follow that logic, anytime a character uses any ability at all, you don't get as much XP. Wizards don't get penalized for casting fireball, barbarians don't lose out when they rage, and rangers don't hurt the parties level gain when they rapid shot.
So why do I cause the party to lose experience when I cast Summon Nature's Ally III?
This can't be right.
However, you can help. My DM said if enough people on here agree with me, he'll won't do it.
So what do you think? If you disagree, please tell, I want your point of view as well.
Thanks.
