[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5617131, member: 18701"] So what are the reasons "why" your PC has the negative energy plane in his/her body? How'd that happen and how come nobody else has done that first or took that feature away from you? If you do have reasons for that, then does that mean every NPC knows those reasons? What I'm getting at is, why do you expect to know why your spell does nothing against an NPC simply because the DM isn't telling you out of game? An NPC might encounter you and not know why the Negative Energy Plane exists inside of your body. Shouldn't that NPC be complaining that you get to have a plane inside your body and he does not know why because the DM isn't telling him why? Just because you don't know why spells are not working does not mean you are supposed to know what is going on. Maybe an NPC has some ability to make your spells not work. As crazy and powerful of a campaign you are playing, I'm not sure why yer surprised that spells are not working when they normally would. Rather than complaining & speculating that the DM is cheating, shouldn't you be roleplaying and trying to figure out why your spells were not working? You are trying to play "by the rules" when this entire campaign is based off of not playing by the rules in any sort of way. There is nothing wrong with that at all, but you need to be ok with that first before you play. Otherwise, yer just going to keep complaining about the same sort of things you are already complaining about. [/QUOTE]
