Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rackhir" data-source="post: 3180092" data-attributes="member: 149">As someone who's run an archer in a lot of campaigns, it's perfectly possible to challenge archers with out trying to destroy their bow at every opportunity. Doing so will likely cause the archer player to either drop out of the campaign or at least drop the character.Sundering in general, is something that should be used only sparingly by the DM as it is in every way a "spoiler" of a tactic. Players get attached to their items, especially if they are something they've worked hard for.If the character was proving to be overwhelmingly powerful and was abusing the system that would be one thing. However, the fact that you pitted a weak and poorly designed character against him and it did poorly, doesn't mean that you should start going out of your way to screw his character.The DM can always set up character and encounters that prey upon the weaknesses of characters and flaws in their designs. Only poor DMs rely on that to challenge their characters though.</blockquote>
