Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zesty Gordita" data-source="post: 5477827" data-attributes="member: 6668121">Ok, somehow, there still seem to be misunderstandings. Even though I explained everything.I did not ask him to write my background for me. He said, "Your character has amnesia, fill in his background where I allow you, and you'll find out the rest later."I have already in game found out my background and who my parents were. That kinda says to me that I would know if I'm Half-dragon or not, regardless of making or not making a knowledge check. And the amnesia is all gone now.Again, dragons have NO innate spellcasting nor can they take character classes. The DM's explanation for how he polymorphed was that "The Gold Dragon (referring to my totem dragon who is also in the Xorvintaal game) has such great powers." ...?There is so much DM homebrew in this game, that I dunno what's up, what's down, and whether what I just ate was an apple or some kinda goblin head that was shaped like an apple.Once again, I couldn't care less if I get mechanical gain or not. I just want him to tell me if my blood means anything or not. Not tell my character, tell me. Because (OOC) I, as the player of the character, should have the right to know what is going on with my character at this point in the game. Not future plans, just right now. I would be fine if he told me "Don't worry, it'll all be handled later on." But he hasn't told me anything.My father dying in one blow could be explained away, but that would really only work if he had rolled any dice. It was more like:DM "Do you have any more questions?"Me "Uhm... lemme think for a sec..."DM "A blade juts out through your father's neck and he dies."Me "Wait... what?"Suspend belief?? I have been doing nothing but suspending disbelief! I suspended disbelief when my character (who is immune to paralysis) was paralyzed (DM, who told me I was paralyzed, said later my character was just standing there like an idiot because he forgot he was immune to paralysis). I suspended disbelief during many other examples in my previous posts. So please, don't tell me I'm unwilling to suspend disbelief.I think that when the DM accepts the rules when given from one player, but he ignores them when they come from me, and he straight out screams at another player when they come from him, the DM is being unfair.Wait, DMs have to be fair?? They should, seeing as how, although the DM is the "God" of the world, the game is, in essence, for the enjoyment of the players.I am not "mechanically" nor "logically" nor any other "ally", human. Not when 3/4s of my blood is dragon. Not when I am the DIRECT descendant of a Black Dragon. If I am human, then how in the world do half-dragons come into being? There should be a book on that... oh wait... there is. It's called Races of the Dragon.Anyway, after a long argument with the DM (OMG, I argued with the DM! How dare I!), he accepted that he "Did the math wrong." and that my character should in fact be Half-Black Dragon. However, he then went on to say I lose my Human benefits... which doesn't make sense because that would mean Human isn't my base race, which means that I have no base race, which, I don't care what kind of homebrew stuff you run, I have to have. There has to be a base race for a creature that has a template. There always is. So does that mean my base race is a Half-dragon or a Draconic Human? Who knows. I don't personally care anymore. His game is full of "made up on the spot" crap rules that have no depth nor explanation to them. So I'm just gonna go along with it and see what happens.And, once again, I am not saying all DMs are like this. I am currently in two other campaigns in which I enjoy the DMs very much. Their descriptions are good, their setups are enjoyable, and so far everything seems consistent. It is just that this DM needs to get his act together and figure out what is going on in his world because frankly, I don't think he even knows.</blockquote>
