Message: <blockquote data-quote="On Puget Sound" data-source="post: 5617344" data-attributes="member: 68988">You say it's the DM's job to run the world while you run the PCs, but in every post you assert your right to define the world, and your outrage that there are things in it you don't understand.It sounds like you have left nothing for the DM to do except to describe the horror and agony of your victims.  It's not surprising that he's pushing back against that.If I were GMing this, the first thing I would do is look for reasons things might not go exactly the way you plan.  That's what makes it a game rather than a novel.  For instance...The negative plane is in your body... so it's gone missing?  How does Orcus feel about that?  Where are all the souls of the dead going now?  Have they stopped dying?  You said the DM would not allow you to take control of all undead in existence, as if by denying you he was cheating.  I can't find any rule that says "whoever controls the negative plane automatically controls all undead."  Your character may have assumed that would happen when she set out to gain that power.... now she finds that it has not worked as intended, and she needs to figure out why.  WOW, plot, challenge, storyline.  You should be rejoicing, not complaining.(Personally, I would let you take control of any given undead at any time by focusing your attention on it, but since all undead everywhere draw energy from the negative plane, they are now drawing it from YOU.  Several good story options here.  Maybe unintelligent undead everywhere simply stop, or go berserk, or explode into nasty necrotic sinkholes, because you haven't learned to modulate that power yet.  Maybe their responses are just a little off, causing necromancers across the universe to wonder what is wrong... maybe it will be the bad guys, not the good guys, who first discover you exist.  Or maybe now that the negative plane is sentient, you must personally direct all the undead all the time, distracting you or forcing you to bring in minions to do the job, minions who can be used or corrupted by your enemies.  Maybe the power drain is small and manageable for now, but it weakens you just a bit.... and your eventual enemies will learn of it and exploit it by animating billions of corpses somewhere, overtaxing your reserves at a crucial moment.)Two things to consider:1.  Superboy needed kryptonite to be interesting, even in his earliest Smallville days.  What is your kryptonite now?  Not later when you're fighting gods, now. 2.  <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue" target="_blank">Mary Sue - Television Tropes & Idioms</a></blockquote>
