[QUOTE="DarkJester, post: 153100, member: 3280"] Here is the situation: Me and 6 Others guys are players in a friends campaign.The dm is a good friend of us all,and a pretty good dm.We all (use to) have fun in the game.The problem is,we get into a lot of arguments over rules and stuff lately. I think it all comes down to the DM's experience system.He refuses to use group experience,he only gives experience on what you kill (or mostly kill). This leads to intense competition between us players over the monster kills,and has led to quite a few arguments (Hey you can't do that!). I'm specificly troubed that everyone gets mad at *me*. I'm the best at powergaming in the group, I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything,its just that I've played the longest. Everyone gets mad at me for geting the most experience,from building effective characters.I don't hog all the attention, it's just that I shine a bit more than the others. When I first saw this problem arriseing I thought to myself "Well it must just be me,I'll stop making powerful guys and it will fix its self." My next character was a Cleric of pelor,used no combat spells,I healed,gave advice,and buffed party memebers.The only thing this accomplished was me lagging behind in levels,and the group picking someone else to get mad at for hogging exp. I'm looking for some solid arguments to present to my DM that he needs to do group experience,I think it will overall improve the whole situation greatly.Any advice out there? [/QUOTE]
