[QUOTE="sithramir, post: 921089, member: 12183"] [b]hmm[/b] I just wanted to state that the DM was quite fair. Yes he took away a big advantage from some players but the vampires level drain is a touch attack. His armour is useless to that anyways. The idea was spectacular because his players had to make a morale decision. The fact is your paladin character who got mad probably would claim to be the guy who wears his full plate while walking through town taking a half an hour to get down a street at his movement while its 90 degrees (30 celsius) out right? Doubtful and unrealistic and the character should realize that although its a fantasy world some obvious things are kept realistic in them. My campaigns you wouldn't have your armour on all the time because my characters role play. part of their role playing is "I can't wait to get out of this heavy armor for a drink" because they don't worry that they lose 8 ac by doing it but that it makes sense with how their characters work. Those of you who are saying how he hsouldn't put them at such a disadvantage might as well not let monsters come next to the wizards. He can't cast spells without their attacks of opportunity coming his way and his advantage of blasting things from afar in battle is ruined. Just cause its a unique case to the fighter doesn't mean ti doesn't happen ALL the time to others who just accept it because it makes sense. [/QUOTE]
