[QUOTE="MadScientist, post: 562326, member: 5277"] Yeah, I'm generally the DM of our group as well, but because I've been to busy lately(Grad School sucks up alot of time) I've been on the players side. -I have a very hard time RPing a single complex character. I mean I always found it pretty easy to play a bunck of two dimensional cleches.... but one multi-dimensional character has been difficult. -I've also released my inner twink! Maybe it's just because I know the rules so well and the twinkish combos are just so obvious.... I don't know. I do know that my dwarven Barbarian/Fighter dishes out far more hurt than any one else in the party, and of course he has a 6 Cha (I should be so ashamed) [As a side note I never realized how twink dwarves were until I played one... +2 save versus magic, +4 AC vs Giants, etc., etc. sheesh!] -Rules judgements, yup me 2. -I also have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when my fellow players use less than optimal tactics. (Well if you had 5 ft stepped here you could have done X. No cast the fear spell on the mook so I can AoO him and then cleave into the big bad guy!) I have to say thay being a DM has made be a better player in some respects though. I always try hard to pay attention, write down clues, keep careful track of my missile weapon ammo (Many players never seem to run out of x-bow bolts!) Although probably the best thing about playing is seeing weak points in you DM that you suddenly realize you have as well.:) [/QUOTE]
