One of the PC's went to get the Duke because he believed the other PC's would not come.2) It has been stated, but it bears repeating: the players knew they were fighting vampires yet chose to sleep at night instead of being on guard. That, right there, is sufficient cause for just about any kind of smacking down the DM might want to deliver. Fusangite was, if anything, inordinately generous to his players.3) "My problem is the abusive verbal outburst from one of them who told me that I had ruined his evening and wasted his valuable time by enforcing the armour donning rules and that by not allowing him to don his Full Plate instantaneously, I had decided not to let him play. He insisted that I was a lousy GM because a good GM would have 'let everybody play.' When I suggested that any time he wanted to stop putting on his armour, he could have participated, he became more abusive and stormed out." He was full of bantha pudu. Sometimes you have to fight at a disadvantage. Them's the breaks. The armor donning rules were not just tossed into the game for the heck of it -- they were written for a reason.Short answer: Fusangite was right. Player was wrong. To "bend the rules to make it more fun" in this instance would have, essentially, been "hand over a big ol' GIMME just because I want it." And people think spellcasters are being nerfed as it is!   -The Gneech <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
