[QUOTE="Gondsman, post: 5678701, member: 90057"] I was excited for encounters just to have a regular game night for once, but i'm very quickly becoming less than jazzed. We get the cheaters, our store allows any class/feats not just the standard Essentials books, but we've got a couple of guys who show up and must be using quantum physics on their character sheets. We have a Rogue(not theif) that doesn't have an attribute lower than 15 (his INT) a 20 DEX and has somehow come up with a 20 AC (I spent about an hour trying to figure that one out and still couldn't build a rogue higher than about 18 AC even with the 20DEX). Basically he never misses. We have a Sentinel druid who is making up his own rules for the spirit companion and nobody will call him on it. Also he is constantly wasting time looking up information that should be on his character sheet. I can deal with the above issues, Go ahead and cheat it doesn't hurt my play. My biggest problem is that most every night we have a party size of 6-7 so the encounters combats end up being less than 3 full rounds (i got all of 2 turns last night), with a lot of waiting for your turn. Last night, the guy whose initiative came up last left the store and walked two blocks to 7-11 to buy a bag of gummies, and when he got back, we were only half way through the order. [/QUOTE]
