[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 562200, member: 2"] Me too, but for different reasons. Some of the stuff that you find difficult (like a consistent voice) I don't have trouble with. But I'm so used to answering DM questions that I immediately tend to make rules judgments, even when I have no business doing so. It's an awfully hard habit to break. In a pick-up game I played in yesterday (over at nopantsyet's house), I also found out that I can have severe twink tendencies. :D We were told to bring in 15th lvl rogue-y characters, standard gear. My shadowdancer was criticalling a few times a round with his [i]keen brilliant energy rapier[/i], especially with an improved crit feat that brought my range to 12-20. Add that to a few potions of haste and a ring of blinking, and I was doing close to 100 points of damage a round! I had no real idea it would be that effective, and I felt guilty even as I skewered bad guy after bad guy. Moral of story: deep inside me, I indulged my munchkin tendencies, and I'm never letting one of those into my own campaign. *grin* [/QUOTE]
