And I don't mind telling you that it frustraits us players like mad (most of us). While there are other issues involved, one of the big ones is his tendency to ignore the rules and use logic as a defense.   Be it slaughtering the Precise Shot feat, redoing SR (but only applying the changes to players), adjusting weapon properties, or changing the armor sleeping rules. Each time, he says something like "That just doesn't work" or "That's not the way it actually happened." It tends to cause issues in our group.   While often he's probably right (he's the history major), it still bothers us each time he reduces our strengths and puts someone else above us with nothing but DM fiat.   I believe in giving the players the benifit of the doubt when it comes to rules or flavor, just as I give the rules priority over my own ideas even if I'm unsure of them. If it doesn't say "The stubstance no longer has the material properties of its previous form (such as damage reduction or weight)" then I don't add it in.   The PCs have a hard enough time in this world as it is. I don't need to start taking away the powers of their abilities or eqipment. I know how draining that can be to a playe and I would never do it to my PCs.</blockquote>
