Recently our DM ran a rather extended storyline about an undead army marauding around Sundi and invading Pitchfield. We were fighting undead almost exclusively, and I was playing a Ranger/Rogue. Hooray, no sneak attacks, no favored enemy damage, nothing. But I generally let it roll off my back, as I had had my time to shine when we were in the wilderness. Then that character dies and I bring in a barbarian/fighter who has a +1 keen greatsword and improved crit. But we are still fighting undead. Ok, so no crits but at least I can still do damage. But wait, now we are fighting hordes of undead with fear effects (Spawn of Kyuss, a devourer too). Combined with level-draining undead and my stellar +3 Will save I'm running for the hills in every combat. This is where it starts to get on my nerves. I let the DM know this (but civily <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ) and he assures me the undead invasion should be coming to a conclusion soon. I do everything in my power to beef up my will save, ride out the undead invasion and then look forward to doing some damage. Well, guess what he throws at us next? More creatures with a Fear ability. Luckily he realized how annoying this was getting and he's tossed us some foes we could go toe-to-toe with. So, while I agree that a DM should occasionally put the party at a disadvantage in some situations, where some characters may be less effective than others, I also feel these situations should be few and far between.</blockquote>
