It really sounds like this guy is deliberately railing against the group's muscle-head tendencies by playing the exact opposite of said muscle-heads for his own jollies. I can see the disconnect in play style and how the 'gotta win' types would be annoyed. Question for the OP, though. If this...

I just wanted to pop in and congratulate the OP for TEN YEARS of ongoing thread - the 10 year anniversary was actually Dec 27th. :)

Of specific note is that Shortbows are now Simple weapons. :)

All right, Xmas is dead and gone, time to get some dice rolling and roles played! *woot woot* all aboard the hype train!

GMforPowergamers - if you happen to still peek in EnWorld, this old thread is full of great info for DM's who may be suffering burnout.

Pretty much the only thing I can add is what others have echoed - there's a disconnect between what players _say_ they want and what the DM _says_ he provides. It _sounds_ like the players want short-term just-for-fun games that they can pick up and put down at their whim, like a video game...

I second Bard. Either variety works; Lore if you want to leech spells from other classes, Valour if you want some in-your-face along with your Spellcraft. If you want cheese, take your bonus feat or L4 feat as Spell Sniper and pick up Eldritch Blast for the best Cha-based ranged goodness.

And here's what I mean. If the players decide they no longer want to save the world, your solution is to trash the campaign and make a brand new setting from scratch rather than move on and let the former events play out. Think of it like real-like jobs. Say you're working at McDonald's for a...

Well, being told "if you don't want to save the world, game's over, boys" leads me to believe that they can't fail, or they can't play. This leads into something else I've noticed: With the exception of The Rock, you're dictating to the characters what they must play to fit your campaign. YOUR...

I, as well, threw out a massive spread of possible suggestions - I would hope some of them didn't apply to your group. ;) All the stuff I took out? That's the stiff I call "DM Mas... er... uh... self-..." (I don't know if there's a grandma-friendly way to put it). Bottom line, that info is...

Minions. Minions always work. Also, city-based adventures. Or, put them in an archipelago and have them island-hop for adventure. If you can find it, see the Savage Tide Adventure Path (3e Dungeon magazine) for ideas. Slow your advancement rate. 5e's only been out a year and you're already...

You can always have a learner's permit when you turn 16. :3 And if you're going Rural, you've likely already been allowed to drive tractors, 4x4's, dirt bikes, 4-wheelers and whatever else backwoods cumptree folk like.

Well,, that's what i get for raging against the machine while at work - I did a search for it and it took me to Rpgnow.com, where it is only available as a PDF, so I went and made an ass of just me and ASSumed it was the case everywhere. :3 Atlatl Jones , based on your mention of a Canadian...

"Departed" Problem Child? Are you finally free? :D Well, back in 2e there was a Dragon Rider kit (or some such) that guaranteed a character had a Dragon mount. So I gave him a Mist Dragon. From the Monstrous Manual: "Mist dragons are solitary and philosophical. Their favorite activity is...

the Hengeyokai (Asian animal shape-shifter) or Changeling (Eberron 'people' shape-shifter) should fit all of your shifting needs, as does the, uh, Eberron Shifter race (sorta half-weres, can change some of their body). Also, Were[x] is a template easily slapped onto an existing character...

Does anyone else cry and hue at the lack of physical books for works like these? As an Eastern Canadian, I can't just scoot out to my local whatever and have a book made. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I can't 'learn' from reading a computer screen - I need that tactile info to hold and read...

if it's in Urban Arcana, it's not core. :) Some non-WOTC SRD's out there can help, especially this one. Thing with that one is that the campaign-specific classes (the magic and psychic ones) aren't in it because they are proprietary IP and don't fall under the SRD's legalese.

This goes in the woulda coulda shoulda pile, but wouldn't it have been thrilling if those six wolves started hunting the PC's after a while instead of being their final barrier to escape? Always consider "why is this encounter here?" and "Does it improve the story?"

All right you two, back to your corners... :)

Druids can be very wily opponents - be glad that's all you got away with. *lol*
