[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7141080, member: 6803337"] No your DM is [I]not[/I] being fair. He's changing the rules in the middle of the game. Away from table, have a discussion with him. Bring a Monster Manual and point out the high-initiative monsters who can get the jump on your character. Ask him to look over the feats and give you a list (maybe by next session) of the feats he [I]will[/I] allow. Also ask - and be as non-confrontational as you can - if he has a pre-set idea of 'how encounters should play out'. Should surprise ALWAYS be an issue? Do the PCs always get the jump on the monsters, usually get the jump, half-and-half, never get the jump? Does he have a 'pre-set plotline' in his head that the rest of the group should know about? I've DM'ed at the FLGS "Welcome to D&D" group so I knew going in I would have to be flexible and work to make players happy. It sounds like your DM doesn't have his head in that kind of place.
