I can certainly understand that and would be fine with a DM being honest with such issue. If our DM was upfront and communicated with us their fears and frustrations as the campaign went things could have ended up differently.So, no allowance for the DM simply not knowing something was an issue until play began? Perfect knowledge or you walk?
I'm starting to wonder what a lot of people here want from a DM. Because the DM-hate across the site is getting thick.
Unfortunately, that isn’t what happened during that campaign. We had several conversations with the whole group trying to come to an understanding and it ended up never amounting to anything except being told that we the players where never to be trusted and were ruining their game even as we were trying to figure out what their game actually was. Nerfing wasn’t even the only problem, but it was a pretty sizable one. It was not fun, I felt miserable and belittled and even cried during one of the more heating arguments.
I don’t want to deal with that again. I’m sorry if you see that as DM hate but every other DM in our group felt the same way about what happened in that campaign and they all communicate upfront and makes sure everyone is on the same page when they DM. If beancounter is alright with the nerf despite the circumstances that’s great and I wish them luck, but I would be uncomfortable due to past experience. At best I would pick another class and see if that’s ok, but unless I knew the DM and their play style well I’d probably just excuse myself.
