[QUOTE="Trine, post: 821253, member: 5659"] Sounds like your DM needs a swift kick to the head. If he's going to go against the spirit of the rules like he's doing (well, he's really just breaking them, but that could be debated) he should give you a chance to defend yourself. This includes: availability of [i]shield[/i] spells, magical items like the [i]brooch of shielding[/i] (assuming a 9th level caster on each of those "wands" in the set... the brooch would protect against about 60% of a volley), potions of [i]shield[/i] etc... But he's not giving you much of a hope here. 175 damage on average, from a standard action, with no save, is just wrong. Hmm. Can you give us a better idea of what type of items your characters have access to? What levels are you? What spells do you have access to? About the only hope you have is to beat his initiative and either a) [i]silence[/i] him, or put some sort of [i]darkness[/i] around yourselves to prevent targeting. Bleah. The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth though, just because of the severe abuse of magical item creation rules. [/QUOTE]
