[QUOTE="Luce, post: 6144134, member: 29760"] I wanted to point out that for such self-professed stickler to the rules Jim seems to have conveniently forgotten that "Until the End of the Encounter: The effect ends when you take a rest (short or extended) or after 5 minutes." (PHB1 pp 278). Therefore he could not have taken an army by himself. RAW is a valid way to play the game, just not the only one. There is the matter of social contract, but at the same time A) this is a new GM and as 20+ year veteran player I feel that the onus is on Jim to be more tolerant or B) since gaming is a voluntary activity we do for pleasure , excuse himself and not participate if fun is not being had. In most long running groups IME the DM will eventually start to deviate from the RAW whether it is to make house rules or introducing 3pp in order to make the gaming experience tailored to the people around the table.
