[QUOTE="Zelda Themelin, post: 5372664, member: 167"] I think there are few potential things causing bad mood. He doesn't understand all rules. I become irrated if I don't know how "physics" of game-world work. This also often contributes to charater you though is good at something but ends up sucking at it. He doesnt' trust gm. Do you actually know gm wasn't pushing such behavior by being unfair. Unmentioned hause rules are bad for trust. As are bad things happening to your character in your first session. This kinda sets the mood for near future. Lack of transperant combat feeds trust-issues and doesn't help learning rules. I understand his complain for 15 dmg. Gm should mention if its crit or power attack somehow, if not directly then by description. Some players want to know what contributes to damage, especially if it's stragely low or high based on how the opponent appears. Me and my other Blizzard and Bioware games corrupted friends have issues in these. And maybe combat plots weren't to his liking, too much assassins attacking inn you sleep and so.
