[QUOTE="PureGoldx58, post: 5843322, member: 6671182"] First, Welcome to ENworld. Honestly, I have made similar mistakes to your ladder/stair problem. The difference is when my players say something, I correct my error and go with whatever I first said. That said, when he had a grid that clearly showed a 10 foot wide hallway you stick with it or your players will never be able to trust your directions. Players shouldn't fight players, unless both are willing to lose everything they have worked for. If they do start a fight, make sure it is about something worthwhile. I had an instance where my character as a player was attacked by another vastly weaker in combat PC because my character offended him. The fight lasted one round with him running from disintegrates and when I asked him if it was worth it (as a player) he said no. The unfortunate thing about fights like this in character is that they don't end, if someone comes at you with a sword you never forget it. I have also had similar problems with DMing in the past, though not as blatant or as horrific as your experience. The only way we fixed anything is to speak with our DM, unfortunately though his style is "I'm the boss", which he really shouldn't have but most of us like him otherwise. [/QUOTE]
