No. I don't know what you're doing, but its not D&D. Heck, its not even gaming, IMB. -Ozmar the Dice-Lover

Dread Necromancers ROCK!!!! :D -Ozmarius the Dread Necromancer Edit: Seriously. With a dread necromancer, you have nothing to worry about. Undead become your allies. This class is the uber-class against and with undead. My character at level 12 has 99 HD of animated undead, and keeps most of...

Like when they are traveling across an uninhabited and dangerous island, and two of their companions have recently died of horrible wounds, and a mysterious stranger suddenly teleports to their location and claims that he was sent there to aid them. Yeah. That's perfectly reasonable. No stretch...

Ha! If only! Actually, I had a shroud of undeath, but the undead fighters didn't believe my cries of "I'm one of you, lets be friends!" and brought me to -9 hps in one round. :\ -Ozmar the Foolish

Like a necromancer charging headfirst into a room of undead fighters, getting whacked down, and still somehow surviving? Yeah, kinda like that...

QFT. "I'm just playing my character" is the last refuge of a scoundrel. And not the kind who uses skill tricks. :D -Ozmar the Friendly Player

That doesn't sound like an RP issue. That sounds like a tactical issue. Maybe he's not as much of a powergamer as you think? :D Ozmar the Tactical Observer

Fair enough, but I think it's kind of hard to offer concrete advice without concrete examples. I am not entirely sure whether the solution is for you to "lighten up", or to boot out the player, or something in between. I have solved some problems in my game by adjusting my own expectations. For...

That's kinda what I'm wondering. I mean, if you're bent out of shape because your player wants to craft arrows, then I start to wonder: are they so horrible that they drove you to paranoid stinginess, or are you being just a teeny bit draconian? I am very curious about what constitutes...

I'd love it. IME, though, most players are whiny brats who pitch a fit if they don't get their way. So YMMV. Ozmar the Bitter :D

That does sound a bit suspicious. Can you give us some concrete examples? Like, what feats, magic items, tricks and tweaks has he put in to give himself an awesome bonus? There's only so much you can do, and it should be pretty easy to nerf him if he's really abusing the system. Ozmar the Helpful

I would argue that in real life, what you do is more important than "who you are". In fact, who you are is, in large measure, what you do and how you do it. At the risk of boring people... My character is Ozmarius Necromunda Wormfiend. He's a minor karrnathi nobleman. His mother was involved...

IMO, most of the suggestions you've received do not address the real problem, and thus, will not resolve it. That's the crux of the issue. The player's mindset. You can't change that, and all your ideas about limiting options won't change it, either. The only person you can change is yourself...

This is probably very true in many places. IMO, the Twin Cities has a large and healthy gaming scene. I've had no trouble finding many gamers in the past 5 years since moving here. There is also a very large, very well-run game store (The Source) and dozens of smaller stores. One of our local...

Hmm... good point. Clearly, Tolkien was an imbecile for neglecting to address this obvious solution. Ozmar the Amused :D

One thing to keep in mind in all this is that the heroes probably had imperfect knowledge about Sauron's capabilities. Maybe its true that Sauron could not have prevented a flight of eagles from landing on Mt Doom, but did Gandalf know that? And could he take that chance? Secrecy and stealth...

Our DM just said we were all from the same village, and we made characters together. Still ended up with three humans, an elf and a centaur. (And strangely enough, the elf & human were siblings, and the centaur & human were siblings. Adopted, you see...) But that worked great. Best game ever...

Well, here's what I think I'm gonna do... Buy some liquid pain (BoVD), which costs 200gp, and can be used as an additional material component when I cast create undead. This will add +2 to the caster level. Undergo the bloodtouched rite (PG to Eberron), which I was gonna do anyway, since my...

Nice! Muchas gracias! Ozmar the Grateful

Yeah... I can't see pot and gaming working well together at all. Even with the drinks, its got to be in moderation. Some gamers can't add their base attack bonus and strength together while stone cold sober. Can't sustain a game when people are wasted. Oz the Moderate
