[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 227431, member: 913"] It sounds to me like your DM has a couple of areas he could work on. First, it seems as though he is afraid to let the events in the game affect his storyline too much. Witness the use of the Druid relative to whisk away the body of the NPC. He also needs some more experience with 3E combat, both in terms of balancing encounters and in terms of using opponents to the best of their abilities. Finally, he is having difficulty with pacing and creating "realistic" reactions to the events in the game. Witness the druid's quick appearance when the ranger called for him, as well as the NPC cleric racing toward the temple with no warning. The amount of experience given to the ranger is the DM's call, and a player should only criticize a DM in this area in very unusual circumstances. That being said, if you haven't approached your DM and tried to help him work on areas you perceive as weaknesses, then you are doing the game more of a disservice than he. I think he has weaknesses, and I think that it will take time to improve upon them, but I think it can be done. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
