[QUOTE="Aacriil, post: 3679626, member: 54186"] Hey guys, well, I've been playing RPGs and RPing for years and years, but only in online games and MuDs via the PC. So, recently a friend of mine said he used to play DnD and DM for a group and wanted to start up another one. He invited me to play so I said sure I was going to roll an Elf sorcerer, but he wanted me to do somthing a little more out of the ordinary, so I ended up rolling an elf Shadowcaster (PrC from Tome of Magic.) Anyways, the way he runs his games concerns me a bit, though, I'm not sure if it's my place to say anything, or even bring up my concerns. He's decided that the whole movement system is too much of a hassel, so, he's just gotten a Die and given us each a number, he rolls the die and then the NPC/Creature/whatever attacks whoever's number got rolled. Now, this isn't too bad for the Melee classes, but it's really a pain pain for me, with my whole 6hp. >.> I've got no way to avoid being clobbered. On top of which, he's altered the levelling system, and levels us up like one does int he video game Final Fantasy Tactics, 1k exp = 1 level, and he just adjusts Creature/NPC exp awarded (He's never given quest exp as of yet. ) Which is fine with me, but it concerns me that after two 8 hour sessions, I'm sitting at lvl 1 with ~150 exp, because my guys is always unconcious XD. Now, I have fun with them But these things are kind of frusterating. Is there anything I can really do? Or should I just leave it be? [/QUOTE]
