[QUOTE="godawful, post: 2855322, member: 36518"] first off, as a DM, trust none of those squirmy little wastes of life called 'players' constantly check their sheet. even the nicest little dm butt-kissers screw up. and OOPSIE it always seems to be in their favor. grab his sheet. take 2 minutes to see how messed up it is and recalculate everything. you probably know ten times more than they do about their own characters anyway. do this every 2 or 3 times they level. because they are out to cheat and lie and whine and you shouldn't put up with any of it. kill his character and make it so that the only available rezzer is a druid and make him come back as a goblin. then kill him again. if he thinks it is unfair, kill everyone's characters. it's a game. if someone is especially attached to their character, kill it first. if you think being harsh is inappropriate, think again. i have 10 or twelve players begging to game with me cuz they have all tried those sissified versions of d&d with other DMs. and if you have a 'strong social and professional relationship' with this guy, that's an even better reason to turn him into a smudge. DM like you are Kyzer Soze, not Oprah. [/QUOTE]
