Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 5838696" data-attributes="member: 9037">I was once. I was getting very frustrated with some of my fellow players and talking about it didn't seem to matter or help.It all started because of an action as a first level character and then a huge miscommunication with the DM. We had been attacked by an invisible assassin. We found a magical earring and some magical daggers on him but we didn't have the ability to identify them. I said I was taking the daggers and putting them in my bandoleer of daggers. We needed to sneak in some place so I tried the earring on to see if that was how he went invisible. It wasn't and it almost killed me. Some of the players were yelling you never ever try out a magical item without identifying it.  Which I thought was just huge metagaming.Later I pulled one of the daggers to use and the DM had me go crazy and try to kill the party. He said that handling the dagger by the hilt caused it to activate. I pointed out I had handled them before and he claimed I didn't handle them by the hilt  but my the blade. Which made no sense because anyone who uses knives handle them by the hilt not the blade and I would not have been able to stick   in the bandoleer if I was only handling the blade.I didn't keep arguing because I didn't want to disrupt the game and the DM had made his decision.Some of the party made the decision that I could be trusted around magic items so I was not allowed any they would cast detected magic on me to make sure I didn't have any. Yet the rogue was stealing magic items right and left from the party. Though to be fair that was player not character knowledge but it help fuel my resentment. So I started playing my character as adversary of the party instead of a team member. I would not help some of them if they were in danger of dying, I held back information. Since I felt like I was not an equal member of the party I decided to act like that.Looking back I realize I should have either quit the game sooner than I did or insisted that I be allowed to bring in a new character. But being a dick player did not make the game fun for me even if did give me a weird kind of satisfaction.</blockquote>
