[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3121407, member: 41321"] We were in the middle of a World's Largest Dungeon campaign, played online, and a new player asked to join. We're somewhere around 11-13th level. DM said, "sure," after the player was willing to spend a session just watching us. Three of the normal players were missing that day, including the barbarian, so the party was a little underpowered. The DM tried to go easy on us. The NPC with our party figured out a way to "convince" the guardbeasts we'd run into not attacking us on sight, but one of the PCs decided to attack anyway. Our side actually made the first move. It was a bit of stupidity on our part, along with underestimating our opponents, mixed in with a little bit of a new 11th level cleric with only 50 HP that decided to go toe-to-toe with one of four Huge (might have been bigger, I forget my sizes) monsters. They stopped attacking us when we stopped attacking them, but it took one badly-placed swipe, killing the cleric, to make us realize we should stop attacking. The DM does seem to enjoy killing PCs, but he's very strict with using the die as they land. He would take the suggestion that he fudge a roll as an insult and considers the term "metagaming" a swear word. He doesn't try to throw things against us that are too hard, but he doesn't coddle us, either. [/QUOTE]
