[QUOTE="Iconik, post: 5351487, member: 92708"] Hold on. Apparently I need to make something clear (clearer). I've NEVER been upset with my PCs. I reward creativity. I DON'T reward someone ruining an encounter that the rest of the party really wanted. Me not awarding XP for that was to be taken as a lesson to talk things out with your party before going Rambo. Secondly, I never once said I was angry about the double 20 roll. We still laugh about it. Rules are...unless it's a total God, you can double 20 something and kill it outright. Those are house rules. Never was upset. Was just handing out a story of the kind of player he is. He rolls double 20's a lot. Thinks outside the box QUITE a bit. Again...I reward that. Quite a bit.
