[QUOTE="TanisFrey, post: 5478426, member: 26948"] I do not argue wit the DM. I let them have their ruling in game. We usually go out to eat after the game where I calmly talk about how and way I disagree and see if we can comprise about the issue. Case in point during a resent game session, my PC is not with the group due to in game reasons but her cohort is, he is a Brass Dragon. The two PC at the back of the party were gnomes on a flying carpet. We get jumped by mummified cat from the rear. I roll poorly on my initiative, I get to act last of everyone. The gnome uses scorching ray to kill one of the four cats, he then takes a 5ft "step" upwards. There is a 10 ft ceiling, so he as a small character can do this. He then steps out of the room for a few minutes. The dwarf with using a two-handed sword asks if he can move and fight under the gnomes, the DM says no, not enough room to use his sword. So, he moves and makes a single attack against one of the cats, killing it. My turn comes up, I ask if use my breath weapon under the carpet and hit the last 2 cats without hitting the gnomes on the carpet. The DM answer says no. As I am standing corner-to-corner with a cat I do a full attack killing it. The gnome player finely comes back hears about how we could no fight under him, which was his intention by stepping upwards, blows up at the DM. They argue, the gnome finely fries the last round with another scorching ray. We break and go to a late night dinner and talk over the situation. A CN Druid awaken the squirrel on a whim, it spurs the druid and goes off to learn wizardry and eventually becomes an Archmage. There a 20th level squirrel, however unlikely. [/QUOTE]
