Are you sure that your friends idea of great combat is not the players kicking the crap out of everything in their path like super soldiers. That is in fact a playstyle that I have seen be popular. Its not how my long running group plays usually but I have played in groups where this is the case.If this guy has been with your group for a long time and the combats have traditionally been very hard for the players, then he/she may just being trying to give the group a change of pace.Assuming you actually find out that he is in fact trying to make it hard and failing at it, then you must find out why. If your gaming group is so munchkined out that you can whip up on stuff way out of your range then you need to be toned down or the CR needs to be crunked up to 10.If you believe that the DM has no tactical insight and actually runs the monsters in a poor way then try this: After the session is complete pick the combat encounter that you feel went the  most poorly and rerun it with the DM playing your toon and YOU running the encounter. You may be able show him a thing or two, and you may learn a thing or two yourself in the process.I have played RPGs for a long time, and I have found that there aren't a whole lot of bad players/gms from a proficiency stand point, mostly just inexperienced or socially awkward ones. Most of the players I have seen that I would actually call bad usually have bad attitudes, or are just plain mean. Anyone can be taught a thing.It sounds like your GM may just be doing what he thinks is fun. I find honesty is the best policy. Maybe you should all talk and meet in the middle somewhere.love,malkav</blockquote>
