[QUOTE="fba827, post: 4937967, member: 807"] well, if it was somewhat unintentional at first, he may have just been defensive (who knows, the OP may question the DM a lot and so the gut DM reaction is to default to the "DM-allowance" response)... but if he [i]continued[/i] to do it even after it being mentioned to him, then, yeah, it does get a little questionable. In of itself, it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does slow the rate of advancement (and this could explain your current predicament if he's still doing it). If you're running through a published adventure and your XP is being lessened then it will take you longer to get to the level that the published adventure expects you to be at during each stage of encounters. However, if you were just running home-made adventures then it doesn't matter in the least because the DM would keep saying "oh, they're level X thus this is appropriate" rather than the published adventure telling him it's appropriate.
