[QUOTE="Darth Shoju, post: 920229, member: 11397"] [b]armour[/b] I agree that it seems rather unrealistic to be able to accomplish that much in such a timeframe IRL, but he seems to have worked it out properly within the rules for actions in combat. The locations seem pretty close together and the Duke's palace doesn't seem overly large. If there is a problem here I'd say it is with the rules and not the DM. From his earlier post, it sounds as if everyone in the town was anticipating a vampire attack, and possibly even one in the night. Why were the party tanks completely unarmoured at the time then? It seems to me that they assumed they would be able to just jump into their armour when the time came and go straight into the combat (even though Fusangite has stated he has always enforced the armour donning rule). It sounds to me like the players in question got cocky and got burned because of it. And of those players, Fusangite has said 2 out of 3 accept their responsability and one even agrees with his ruling. It is just the one player that couldn't handle it (which isn't surprising based upon his history of behaviour as recounted by Teflon Billy). IMO, the DM tried to give his players a challenging fight, some players took themselves out of the combat and one had a problem with that. [/QUOTE]
