[QUOTE="SonOfLilith, post: 25964, member: 2241"] Wow. i would have never guessed that this would get so many replays, nor could I have anticipated that every PC in our group would respond. Let me answer some questions and say a few words, since this does revolve around my barb. First- We where over open water, with the harpies coming from land about a mile away. I was not aware that flew so slowly (never read MM) and just asumed they could outrun me. (My bad) Second- The only random part was that I would have an encounter, th DM new that they were going to be harpys. Third- I never said the DM was stingy on magical iteams. (he even lets us buy them at shops.) Although I seem to get more then most... Fourth- The Mentat is right. I was going to get rid of the rod anyway. See, I had this vision of this huge greatsword that would strike fear into the hearts of my foes. Sure I would have liked to get a little something for my iteams, but the DM did feel pitty on my and had an old friend cash in a favor so I wan't completly broke. I used this money to build my dream sword. Fith- I do think that the encounter was unfair, but, what can you do about it now? If we just wine about it, The DM will take away my new bride and joy or worse, re-do the encounter and watch my barb get torn to shreds. (I went back and read up on harpy's and I didn't stand a chance. I would have failed a will save sooner or later.) And besides, it's not as if I havn't screwed the group over in the past. All I can do is take the cards that where dealt to me, no matter how fair they are, and play 'em. It is a game after all. P.S. guess that wasn't a few words, but hey. [/QUOTE]
