[QUOTE="rgard, post: 3454934, member: 4157"] I agree with the early responses that you find a new DM. Life is too short to not have fun while playing a game. The bow story reminded me of a similar situation. Back in 1e (1980) we were adventuring in some lich's fortress, trying kill him and take his stuff. On the way in the DM impressed us by describing the huge double front doors of the fortress as being made of 'Black Mithril' and 4" thick. Long story short, we got our butts kicked. On the way out, my MU decided we should steal the front doors to the fortress. We managed to get the doors off the hinges and into the MU's portable hole. Now as far as I know, my MU has both front doors. Fast forward 20 years to 2000 and my friend Wes, (who was part of our game group in Ann Arbor, but didn't play that night) and I drive back to Michigan for a nostalgia trip and meet our friend Pat (whose Cleric was on the adventure.) We met Pat, were having a great time reminiscing about friends, the fun we had and the fun we had playing D&D. The story of the lich's doors comes up. Pat says, "yes, Fru (Cleric's name) had that door made into full plate, and some great weapons and still have some left over." I asked, "you have one of the doors?" Pat replied, "your MU got one and my Cleric got one." It's too foggy now to remember the exact disposition of the doors as discussed, but both ended up on my character's sheet and one ended up on Pat's character's sheet. So, it happens.
