[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 156818, member: 177"] As a number have noted, we here can speculate until we are blue in the face. We can make criticism or give support to the DM's actions until Doomsday. I am no longer sure it's relevant. There's an old saying - "You have to pick your battles." The DM is human. The players are human. No human ever sees all of another's actions as 100% optimal. Whether it's a matter of an actual right/wrong, or just a matter of perception is not important. It is important to realize that you will, on occasion, disagree with the DM. You are engaged in a cooperative story-telling effort. Cooperation implies compromise. Sometimes you get what you want, sometimes someone else does. In joining up, you implicitly agreed to accept the occasional sub-optimal scenario for yourself. Now, as this is a cooperation, sometimes you should get what you want. The question is, is this the proper time and event to push for that? Remember, the character came to no harm. Given that, is this important enough to make a fuss over? [/QUOTE]
