Message: <blockquote data-quote="pseudo_hero" data-source="post: 310175" data-attributes="member: 6558">its good to be kingwell I'm surprised and delighted by all this feedback. I think of myself as a good DM because I can detach myself from the people I play with and role play the villains as their pre-detirmened personality dictates. It took several years to get good at this, but I can honestly say I never put players in their place because they are role playing like goobers. I'll just toss the player after the game it finished. That said, I'm glad eveyone notices that the situation was not personal or a DM/player vendetta. The fact is if you go looking for trouble, your gonna find it. I believe and it seems every one else believes that a character is measured by what he can do despite all the odds and set backs. I personaly don't enjoy playing (when I get the chance) unless my character steps out of that dungeon with 1/2 or less his HP, scarred for life, and victorious. How exciting would the Lord of the Rings flick have been if Gandolf (spelling?) looked at the Balrog and said "oh, hold on, diefic cone of cold coming up "boooosh" ok no more Balrog"? It would have sucked ass! He gets dragged down into the depths with the beast and has to fight it on it's terms. And from what I hear he still whoops it's ass. Would spider-man be spider-man without his danger sense? YES Would he still be spider-man without super strength? YES He crawls on walls and slings webs. Thats all spider-man needs to be spider-man. Just like all a fighter needs to be a fighter is a kick-butt attack bonus, lots of HP and tons of feats. And those are not item dependent.Last note, when the bad guys blew up James Bond's car, did he remark "oh bloody hell! Just kill me, get it over with, wihout my car I'm nothing".  I don't think so.</blockquote>
