[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 9539381, member: 7029501"] The bragging of a player who thinks his character is invinceable. Usually because they play with a DM that's their buddy, and inexperienced/ not great. Said player has no idea what a creative DM can do- what fiendish scenarios they can come up with, and that if you insist on throwing down the gauntlet and issuing a challenge to a duel- you'd better buckle up! How do I know this? I WAS that player at one time... And boy, was I proved wrong. That session was legendary! I returned the favor, years later, when he and his wife were having a far too easy time with Sunken Citadel. I called them The Wrecking Crew, because they'd destroy everything before them with little effort. So I did some redesigning. The results were legendary- new nicknames were assigned, lots of dark sarcasm used (the poor wizard found EVERY trap- by bumbling into it. also famous for eating every crossbow bolt within miles, lol), players mad they could no longer steamroll thru every encounter with ease, etc. BUT, they got smarter, and the epic climactic fight when they finally caught up to the hobgobs was actually an epic climactic fight- with real risk! The customization turned out to be a blast for me. [/QUOTE]
