The week before Sunday, April 1st was the last I will game with the group I was in.The last straw was a uh... discussion on tumbling.Monk: "I'm tumbling into melee with the ogre. I got a 19 on the check."*Johnson: "You tumble in but the org makes an attack of oppurtunity."Me: "?" "A 19 should be enough to get him through the squares without an attack of oppurtunity."Johnson: "No, he needs a 25 or better."Me: "He's not trying to go through his occupied squares just his threatening squares. The chart shows that if he was trying to go through the spaces that the creature takes he would need a 25+. But, he's only trying to get to the creature."Monk: "Yeah, I'm only trying to get to him not through him."Johnson: "FINE! You get to him but are unable to make an attack. We'll see if you're still standing there after he goes!"Me (again): "That's only 10'. He has a 50' move even at 1/2 speed with the tumble this should only be a move action not full round. (Note: I'm not an expert with tumble so maybe tumble is a full round actio whenever you use it. That just makes it sound like a horrible skill.)Johnson: *Holds up a book and slaps it (the book)* "What does this say?"Me and Monk: "It's the DM's Guide."Johnson: "Who am I?"Me: "..."Monk: "*DM's name*"Johnson: "That's right and what I say goes!"Me: "Whatever..."That was close to how that discussion went. If it was only that day (and the only issue that day) I might have still been in the group.Another issue that day (I was silent for this one) was the rogue (the DM's wife) pulled out a bow for the first time and used it. Since she hadn't carried a bow before and we hadn't been in a town for some time I asked where she got it.When she said that it was the bow that was found awhile back (the Mighty composite longbow STR 15) I checked my paper and sure enough it was right where I had put it. On my character sheet listed underneath my only magic item, the Quiver of Ehlonna.How she ended up with the bow that I said I couldn't use at the moment but would keep because I would be able to soon (Druid/Ranger) is beyond me. But that bothered me less than the fact that she only had an 11 strength and was using it without penalty (in melee none-the-less) without provoking attacks of oppurtunity while I always had to cast Arrowmind on myself.Anyway...Sunday, April 1st - Johnson and his wife show upMe: "I'm sorry, Johnson but I must ask you to leave. There's your mat and figures."Johnson: "What? Why? Is this because of last week?"Me: "Last week was just the last of a long line of problems. And please, feel free to take any snacks and soda that's here"Johnson: "No, we brought those for everybody."Me: (Whatever)Johnson: "Well, if you change your mind just let us know."Me: "Maybe sometime in the future I'll game again, but not right now."Johnson: "See you later."Me: "Have yourself a good day."We've been 'friends' too long to just throw it all away. But if I game again it won't be with anyone from that group again (except the monk - he's my brother).Since then I've been sleeping better. I haven't woken up with my hands buried in the matress with their circulation being cut off (It's an odd feeling to see your hands buried inches into a firm matress and not be able to actually feel the matress).I've had time to work on my console and computer gaming. When the weather gets better I'll have time to get some yard work done (sometimes they didn't understand that I didn't have time to do much since I'm a night shift worker).I feel free and without worry. I imagine that this is what it feels like to win the lottery - just to a lesser extent.I hate breaking routine even to the point of having health problems, but I think this is one of the better descisions I've made. Since most of the people in the group were negative people I feel that I was becoming more negative myself.* Johnson is referring to the uh... Shadowrun character that gives missions... Yeah, that's it...</blockquote>
