He's the one planning the encounters, and if they all play out the same way the game must surely be boring for everybody...On the other hand, it sounds like you're not using all the options available to you either, Grishnak... A ranger/shadow dancer is not the same as a fighter! You can do so much more than just hit things with your sword...For instance, you were very quick to write off your ability to summon shadows. Remember that they only need to make touch attacks to deal their quite nasty STR damage! You say they can't take much damage and that's true, but keep in mind that they're incorporeal. You need magic to damage them, and even then there's a 50% miss chance!If you're equally quick to dismiss your skills and other capabilities and just stick to hitting monsters with swords it's no wonder you're bored. Don't play your character like fighter if he isn't one. Use his full potential!Reading this, I see I've come on to you somewhat harder than I meant to. I still feel the main fault is with the DM, but that's already been pointed out so many times, so I wanted to draw some attention to what you can do to rectify the situation. I'm sorry if I sound to harsh...</blockquote>
