[QUOTE="takyris, post: 352292, member: 5171"] Question: Is this a new DM? He sounds like an inexperienced DM who's hyperexplaining things because he's insecure. This kind of DM is not going to be hugely receptive to constructive criticisms. Also, you might want to ask him how he had envisioned it happening... Did you guys miss some obvious clues or make stupid mistakes that resulted in you having Mummy Rot and Lycanthropy? Were there clues you should have seen? Were the dice horribly against you? Or was this a challenge over your heads? There's always the possibility that you guys overlooked hugely important stuff and got into bad places by your own ignorance. Sometimes that happens. When it happens and the players complain, I usually point it out to them. "Remember when the harmless beggar told you to stay to the right? Remember the Denying you your spells is flat-out silly. You might feel guilty, but you didn't do it on purpose. If you were a higher level cleric you could use those spells to Cure Disease on yourself, and then do Atonement. So his decision to take away your spells doesn't make sense to me. What if you were a cleric of the god of healing? Of protection? Why does your DM choose to hold your cleric to a stricter standard than that of a paladin, who actually HAS text saying he has a code of conduct and that he loses abilities even for things he did that weren't under his control? But anyway. Yeah. You know what to do. Keep us in the loop. I'm curious as to how this turns out. -Tacky [/QUOTE]
