[QUOTE="reveal, post: 154893, member: 1236"] Situtation: Our group went to a mercenary town, basically nothing more than a trading post and a tavern, to get some information. I told the party that I would go inside to get a bit of info and then rest come in a few minutes later. My character is Halfling Rogue/Bard. So I waltz in and everyone stops to look at me. The DM tells me there are a bunch of gruff human soldiers sitting at tables as well as a handful of gruff half-orcs. I saunter up to the bar and say "Give me a glass of warm milk." The next thing I know I'm being told my halfling is flying out the door of the bar after getting thrown out. That's where I got upset. My character is 3'1". He has high ranks in Bluff, Diplomacy and Tumble (8 total in Tumble). I told the DM that was bull that I just got thrown out without even getting a chance to defend myself. Here is a bar full of tall humans and humanoids and the 3'1" Halfling doesn't even get the chance to even TRY to wiggle out of getting thrown out. I told the DM at the least let me roll to see if I get away from the first guy, only to be picked up by the next guy, rather than just arbitrarily being picked up and tossed out. Was I out of line? I'm just curious because this really bothers me. I mean, what's the point of putting points into certain skills if, in a time when they would come in REALLY handy, you can't use them at all? :( [/QUOTE]
