[QUOTE="wayne62682, post: 4938047, member: 40455"] His answer was, quite literally, that our levels would be too high if he divided by 4. That's also when he started saying how it's all good because the adventure is designed for characters of level x through y. In fact since we started playing the game he's been dividing by 5; now we have 5 PCs so it's alright, but since Keep on the Shadowfell he's been dividing by 5. I mean, we started King of the Trollhaunt Warrens when we were still heroic tier. He honestly does not understand how to balance 4e and thinks that it can be played exactly like 1st or 2nd edition D&D (and fondly reminisces about how great those editions were, and most 4e groups "should be playing Diablo instead of D&D" based on how they seem to play), nor does he understand or care how to scale encounters or that the current published adventures are supposed to take you from one level to another. The funniest thing is that he recently passed the RPGA Herald DM test so now goes off telling people how he's an "certified D&D DM" and says he can't wait to start running LFR adventures at a local game store. I feel bad for the players if he DMs the way he does in our home games :) [/QUOTE]
